Alex Van Halen Quotations

Van Halen is a work in progress.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

Nobody sets out to make a bad record.

Some things are impossible.

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