Van Quotes

I really think that Van Halen has two choices if they want to continue. And maybe they don’t want to continue, because they don’t seem to do muc Picture Quote #1

I’m the only choice to make a record. And that’s the only way I would do it. We’d have to make some new music. The fans deserve it. Van Halen’s got some of the best fans on the planet Picture Quote #1

The name Van Halen, the family legacy, is going to go on long after I’m gone Picture Quote #1

When Van Halen started out, there was no path to fame. We just played what we liked. Even today it always comes down to the simplicity of rock and roll Picture Quote #1

The Alanis Morissette tour, everybody thinks that was all sitting around, lighting candles and talking intelligently about synergy and big words. That band was so gnarly. We were such scumbags. Alanis had no idea. We were like Van Halen Picture Quote #1

There’s a lot of meth [in Bisbee]. So there’s an ex-cop-car Tahoe and a BE DRUG FREE van parked right in front of my house Picture Quote #1

In science, if you don’t do it, somebody else will. Whereas in art, if Beethoven didn’t compose the ‘Ninth Symphony,’ no one else before or after is going to compose the ‘Ninth Symphony’ that he composed; no one else is going to paint ‘Starry Night’ by van Gogh Picture Quote #1

The clothes that fire up my emotions are colorful and different pieces. My eye still picks out gilded-cloque glamour from among Burberrys streamlined trench coats or a hand-printed coat from Dries Van Noten Picture Quote #1

I will never forget the moment when Peter van Pels and I saw a group of selected men. Among those men was Peter’s father. The men were marched away. Two hours later, a lorry came by, loaded with their clothing Picture Quote #1

I still feel very close to the people I wrote shows with and some of the people I toured with. I feel very close to them, like a family or like college friends who you know and who have seen you at your worst and you spend 14 hours driving a van all piled on top of each other Picture Quote #1

Van Gogh was so under appreciated in his time, he sold only one of his 900 paintings while alive. Posthumously, he became one of the most famous artists of all time and his work is now considered priceless. Oh the irony Picture Quote #1

Autism’s a very big spectrum. At one end of the spectrum, Einstein would probably be labeled autistic, Steve Jobs, half of Silicon Valley, you know, Van Gogh. And at the other end of the spectrum, you got much more severe handicaps where they never learn to speak Picture Quote #1

It’s the most natural progression for me to becoming a singing sensation next. And so many people have offered to be on it. Eddie Van Halen... and Prince, Madonna and Cyndi Lauper will probably be a backup trio Picture Quote #1

Ted Templeman, the producer, and Donn Landee, the engineer, are the same team that signed Van Halen, when they were called Mammoth. Donn convinced them to change it to the last name of the guitar player and drummer Picture Quote #1

The action heroes were very cool as a kid. You would compare yourself with them - Jean-Claude Van Damme and Arnold Schwarzenegger Picture Quote #1

So, okay, I’m not a genius. Vincent Van Gogh and Albert Einstein were geniuses Picture Quote #1

Matthew Williamson has always been a favourite of mine, and I am definitely also rooting for up-and-coming designers like Michael van der Ham Picture Quote #1

Then I abandoned comics for fine art because I had some romantic vision of being like Vincent Van Gogh Jr Picture Quote #1

I love what Monet, Picasso, Van Gogh and Jesus all said - that love is really the driving principle of the creative act. In fact, they would say that great art is always inspired by love Picture Quote #1

Experience was my only teacher; I knew little of the modern art movement. When I first saw the works of the Impressionists, van Gogh, van Dongen, and Fauves, I admired it. But I had to seek the true way alone Picture Quote #1

My first assistant-coaching job in football was at William and Mary in 1961. The pay wasn’t much, so to get $300 more per year, I agreed to coach the golf team. I didn’t even know how to keep score, and really, my main job was not to wreck the van on the way to tournaments Picture Quote #1

I always wanted to be a filmmaker, but I started acting when I was 9 years old. I looked a certain part that I wasn’t, really. I played, you know, a high school jock with a lot of attitude or a spoiled rich kid, and I was neither of those things. I was from a very working-class family in Van Nuys Picture Quote #1

All of Dad’s relationships ended exactly the same: subpoena, beep of a moving van backing up the driveway, pile of his clothes burning on the front lawn Picture Quote #1

Martin Van Buren was a shitty guy. Not just because he was a bad president, and not just because he was pro-slavery. Van Buren was shitty in a very general sort of way. And with all that that implies Picture Quote #1

And at five o’clock in the morning we left to drive to Old Tucson, and I sat with my mouth open in the van. I was stunned by the beauty of that country Picture Quote #1

I discovered rock’n’roll. You could go round Europe in a van with your best mates, drinking beer, smoking dope and screwing chicks Picture Quote #1

Van Gogh never made a penny in his entire lifetime. He painted because it was his soul, his excitement. It was what aligned him with his Source of being. It’s the same with me and writing Picture Quote #1
