"I’ll be making music ’til the day I die. I’ve done all kinds of stuff, and more is coming." ― Eddie Van Halen Topic(s): Music More From Eddie Van Halen "We’re musicians. We make music for a living. It’s that simple. Nothing else matters." "We make music for a living. Like I’ve always said, if you like what you’re doing, you’re halfway there; if someone else likes it, that’s even better. If they don’t like it, at least you like it. Not to be selfish, but you kind of have to be." "If you want to be a rock star or just be famous, then run down the street naked, you’ll make the news or something. But if you want music to be your livelihood, then play, play, play and play! And eventually you’ll get to where you want to be." More In Music "Country music is still your grandpa’s music, but it’s also your daughter’s music. It’s getting bigger and better all the time and I’m glad to be a part of it."― Shania Twain "When you are real in your music, people know it and they feel your authenticity."― Wynonna Judd "Everything in life influences my music. I’ve always used songwriting as a means to share what I think is profound."― Jason Mraz
