I had been in Africa for six weeks on a safari with my family. I said, You know, I made a lot of money. I am getting kind of burned out. I really want to do something special. So I went on this extended trip to Egypt, Kenya, Sardinia - I really did it, man. I was coming home, and while I was gone, they changed the speed limit from 65 to 55.

This is pop music. You've got a candidate for president of the United States using it, that's hitting the biggest audience you're ever going to hit in your entire friggin' life. And you don't want that? Bullshit. That's what you want. It's not even for success or fortune, it's because that's the power of the song.

I was really wanting to be a rock star. I was saying, I am going to have a fancy car, I got to have fancy clothes, and I have got to play the whole role. Obviously, I meant business.

I had been reading this book about Zen Koan philosophy, and it was talking about the right here and the right now, and how important it is, and I was really trying to get there in my life.

I wasn't writing the music. Ed would write a piece of music. I'd listen to it and come up with a melody and then we would arrange it. We'd put it together and I would write lyrics to my melodies.

When we were on the road, I found out that my greatest hits album went Gold. They freaked out. Things really came to a head when we started arguing about a Van Halen greatest hits package.

I had more of a vocal range. If you wanted to play a keyboard song, like Love Walks In, I can do it.

After I had my dream, I got into numerology. Like my buddy's name is Bill, and I would say, B is a two, and each I is a nine, and the L's are fours. And that's eight. I would figure out everybody's numerological single-digit number.
