I'm the first to admit that I can't be as good as Tolkien, and a movie can never be as good as Tolkien.
There were days that I literally had no reason to get out of bed. It just was so destructive for me.
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.
