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.

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.

I just have a vision of something, and it seems to go a long way. One thought goes a long way.

I've been drinking tequila for a long time now, and it's never been about drinking to get drunk. I don't do that. I never drink tequila during the day, and I don't drive at night.

I'm writing my biography. It's my business. This is what happened in my life, and I'm writing about it.

I'm John Lee Hooker in the sense that he was a blues man and he played blues his whole life. I'm a rock guy and I'm going to play rock music my whole life.

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.

There are a lot of people going around where an alien took over their body, and their soul will actually leave and be, like, in a sleep or in a near-death situation.

When I left Van Halen, I went in the studio and made a CD called Marching to Mars with all studio musicians. I did it immediately. With the disappointment riding on my shoulders of the breakup of the band.

Love Walks In, it was the same thing. That song is about aliens, by the way.

I'm a co-writer, publisher of that song [Right Now ], so for it to get accepted, we had to sign off on it. I signed off in a second. You bet that anyone can use this. I don't care. You can use it for anything. If it is to inspire people in the positive sense.

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.

I've always been into writing love songs.

The good thing about breaking up is that you have nothing else to lose.

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.

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.
