I've Always Been Into Writing Love Songs.

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.

I Had A Solo Career Before Van Halen. My Fan Base Filtered Through Van Halen With Me And Came Right On Out The Other Side With Me.

There Are A Lot Of People Going Around Where An Alien Took Over Their Body, And Their Soul Will Actually Leave And Be, Like, In A Sleep Or In A Near-death Situation.

Overall, We Had About 50 Meetings Where The Brothers Would Say That I Couldn't Do Any Solo Records, I Couldn't Write For Other People, I Couldn't Do This And I Couldn't Do That. These Guys Were Trying To Nail My Feet To The Ground.

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.
