More quotes by Sammy Hagar
I'm writing my biography. It's my business. This is what happened in my life, and I'm writing about it.
Sammy Hagar
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.
Sammy Hagar
If you have a higher reason ... than just to make money... it will bring you longer fulfillment. And it won't feel like work.
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
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
Write me up for 125, poster my face wanted dead or alive. Take my license all that jive, I can't drive 55.
Sammy Hagar
Everybody has weird dreams, but a usual weird dream is, okay, so your mom's driving a car and she's a dog.
Sammy Hagar
You could be in the gutter and fall in love with someone, and you feel great. That's my honest opinion. I've witnessed both sides of that fence and being in love is where it's at.
Sammy Hagar
I feel it's such a tragic thing [Kurt Cobain's suicide]. Here is a guy, a young guy, that had everything in his hands. He could have had a great life. He had a wife, he had a child, he had a fantastic career. He was important to a generation. And for him to do that - I didn't like that. I thought that was just wrong.
Sammy Hagar
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.
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 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
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.
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'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 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
In Van Halen there were moments, like in some of the ballads, I put my heart and soul into those records. Those lyrics when I sang 'em, I gave myself goosebumps.
Sammy Hagar
Yeah, yeah, I've been Beatled, I've been Rolling Stoned.
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
Stop looking out, start looking in. Be your own best friend. Stand up and say, hey, this is mine!
