“Money can't buy you happiness, but it can buy you a yacht big enough to pull up right alongside it.”

“The reason the critics all like Elvis Costello is because they all look like Elvis Costello.”

“Music is the art of the prophets and the gift of God.”

“We seek to stay youthful, this is the entire message of our music.”

“The light you see at the end of the tunnel is the front of an oncoming train.”

“One of the great things about Van Halen was, we were never a message band. We were a party band.”

“I'm a showman. I'm a ham. I'm a showboat.”

“I'm a rock star. I'm not a politician. I'm not a diplomat. I'm a rock star.”

“I'm just a storyteller, and the story I'm telling is my own.”

“You want a hero in the music world? James Brown. He brought a feeling to music without really using words. He's just screaming.”

“Look, all I'm asking you to do is behave like you've been to a rock show before.”

“Van Halen is a rollercoaster ride. It's a big, loud, fast, noisy, thing.”
