David Lee Roth

My ambition is to further create a signature sound, a signature spirit, that makes some kind of contribution to music in general.

It doesn't matter the kind of music, it doesn't matter whether it's a cowboy hat or a yarmulke. I don't care if it's outer space or pop, the spirit is the same.

It doesn't get better, it doesn't get worse, but it sure gets different!

I used to have a drug problem, now I make enough money.

The problem with self-improvement is knowing when to quit.

Ya know, I always admired Ray Kroc, the man who invented McDonald's. Ray had a vision of the most commonplace thing - a hamburger and fries to go - but to him it was just the greatest thing ever, and he was going to make it the greatest thing ever for everybody else, and he did.

It's always irritated me that people say, 'Where's the action? Oh wow, there's no action here; let's go somewhere else.' These people will never find the action.

I take my personal upkeep real seriously; my sense of organization and attention to detail; my memory; my business - I love the business.

You want a hero in the music world? James Brown. He brought a feeling to music without really using words. He's just famous for his sound.
