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.

More quotes by Sammy Hagar
I've always been into writing love songs.
Sammy Hagar
That song [Don't Tell Me] didn't take us anywhere, and I know why now. It wasn't what Van Halen fans wanted. It showed the darkness of Van Halen, and basically the end of the band.
Sammy Hagar
I wish I would have known Kurt Cobain. I would have been the first guy there to get him help, doing anything I could have. I just felt like the people around him kind of let him down.
Sammy Hagar
Those are the magical songwriting moments, when you have a partner that clicks like that. That's a dream come true, man.
Sammy Hagar
I had more of a vocal range. If you wanted to play a keyboard song, like Love Walks In, I can do it.
Sammy Hagar
I had a solo career before Van Halen. My fan base filtered through Van Halen with me and came right on out the other side with me.
Sammy Hagar
I don't want to talk about negative, dark things. The only thing I've got against stuff like Marilyn Manson is, they make unbelievable videos and unbelievable images.
Sammy Hagar
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.
Sammy Hagar
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.
Sammy Hagar
And for him [Kurt Cobain] to do that [suicide] - I didn't like that. I thought that was just wrong. It just sent a bad message to a troubled generation.
Sammy Hagar
I don't want to try to force anything, because I'm really happy with Chickenfoot my new record with them is phenomenal.
Sammy Hagar
Every year on your birthday, you get a chance to start new.
Sammy Hagar
I can be singing about cat food and I'll make you think that I mean it.
Sammy Hagar
We needed time off from each other after our last tour because there was a lot of personal stuff we had to take care of. Eddie needed hip replacement surgery. Al needed his back worked on. And I was going to have a baby.
Sammy Hagar
I'd say it [I Can't Drive 55] has probably been the most successful song I've ever been involved with, including any Van Halen songs.
Sammy Hagar
It took me a long time to put it to use in things, but the name of my publishing company is Nine Music, and Red became my theme song.
Sammy Hagar
I've had my fill of One Way To Rock or I Can't Drive 55. Those are guy songs to me, and I'm cool with that. But when you write a great love song and you start seeing that 50 percent of your audience is beautiful women, that's much more rewarding, than having a bunch of guys out there.
Sammy Hagar
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.
Sammy Hagar
So many things can get you high, I'm gonna try them all just once before I die.
Sammy Hagar
Dave was great in Van Halen. No question about it. He was one of the best at being Mr. Rock Star. But it's sickening to see a guy still trying to be that with a wig on 20 years later.
