Alex Van Halen quotes:

The Beatles will never get back together and David Lee Roth will never again sing with Van Halen.

Van Halen is a work in progress.

It's part of our nature. As much as I love (brother and guitarist Eddie), if you put us in a room with no one else for 15 minutes, we'd be at each other's throats.

I look at Van Halen as social workers. What we're really doing is creating jobs for rock critics.

Yeah, we have our differences, but we put those aside, and now we're making music. It's great.

Everybody has a high point and a lot goes into that: timing, situation, general consciousness.

When you leave the planet, you leave music behind.

We're having a blast. Just four friends getting together.

It's unfortunate nine years were in between - you can't take that time back; you can't undo it.

There's nothing worse than having everybody thinking alike, talking alike and having the same direction in mind. It gets stale that way.

Nobody sets out to make a bad record.

On a personal level, we all get along fine.

Some things are impossible.

Sammy and I got together and it was like we hadn't missed a beat.

There is a volatile mix, and that's because we're all intense. And there's no denying that.

You don't leave behind box office scores or how many dollars changed hands.

When the tour is done, that's the end of the U.S. tour. We'll regroup and see what we're going to do.

Meaning that if you live in the moment, so to speak, we play today, and tonight we're done.

Whatever our personal differences are, there are no bigger fans of this band than the people who are in this band.

You come to the planet with nothing and you leave with nothing, so youd better do some good while you are here.

Theres nothing worse than having everybody thinking alike, talking alike and having the same direction in mind. It gets stale that way.
