Some more classic Roth quotes:
"I used to have a drug problem, now I make enough money."
"I used to jog but the ice cubes kept falling out of my glass. "
"Why do most rock critics like Elvis Costello and not Van Halen? Because most rock critics look like Elvis."

Dave also taught me that manners are mor important than morals.

DLR: "Hell, I can go to White Castle, look in the bag, and say, 'that's the most amazing thing I've ever seen.'"

I saw him with VH in '84 in LA, one of his last shows with the band. I was 11. He started off the show by yelling to the crowd, "everybody say FUCK, everybody say SHIT."
The place went insane.

More Diamond Dave's wisdom:
"He who knows how will always work for he who knows why. "
"I always wanted to be an outrage to public decency and a threat to women. And this is one of the few occupations where you're not only allowed that, buy you're encouraged."
"I’m an intellectual slut."
"Ozzy is the Prince of Darkness and I’m the Patron Saint of Larceny. Who would you rather be?"
"I haven’t been to sleep since the late Eighties. How do I look? "
""The hood ornament on your car is for telling you where you're going. The rear-view-mirror is for showing you how good you look while you're getting there."
"I have three answers I give to interviewers. The first one is: 'Yeah, I think you're trying to ask me this, but I'm gonna talk about whatever the fuck I want.' The second is: 'I see what you're see what you're asking but I'm gonna talk about whatever the fuck I want.' And the third one is: 'Oh, I see. You're asking me this, lemme say something first and then I'm gonna talk about whatever the fuck I want.' It's quite an open forum."
"If you can't do it in a white T-shirt and a pair of jeans under one white light bulb, you can't do it!"
"It's not who wants to sleep with you; It's who wants to sleep with you again."
"There are three rings to marriage: the engagement ring, the wedding ring and the suffering"
"I won't go down in history, but I will go down on your sister!"
"Hey, don't be throwin' no shit up on stage pal, cos I saw who threw that bottle and after the show... I'm gonna fuck your girlfriend, yeah!"
"Trouble with dreams is, a lot of them do come true. By the time they do, you've turned into somebody else. That's what happens with time... It's always been important to me, that my dream come true, when I wanted. We turned our dream into reality by not even really pursuing either one. We didn't pursue the dream and we certainly didn't pursue reality!"

Something any artist should be able to say:
"I have tried many different forms of presentation in the past years. I was proud of some and less proud of others... But I did them all superbly!"

I was pretty young and don't remember it very well, but that part always stuck in my head.
