Quote

The element of change has been the thing, really. We put out the first one, then the second... then a third LP totally different from them. It's the reason we were able to keep it together.

You can't buy time. Everything, for me, seems to be a race against time. Especially musically.

There's a certain standard in classical music that allows the application of the term genius, but you're treading on thin ice if you start applying it to rock & rollers.

I had another idea of getting a traveling medicine wagon with a dropdown side and traveling around England. That might sound crazy to you, but over there it's so rural you can do it. Just drop down the side and play through big battery amps and mixers and it can all be as temporary or as permanent as I want it to be.

Every record is a portrait of the band at that time.

You don't find geniuses in street musicians, but that doesn't mean to say you can't be really good.

I like change and I like contrast.

I'm over 30 now, but I didn't expect to be here.

If you wanted to chart new territories and head off over the horizon, you had to make sure you weren't overly influenced by what others were doing ... so it didn't matter what other bands were doing ... we did what we were doing.

The key to Zeppelin's longevity has been change.

The beauty of the band was you never knew what was going to come out next.

There will be a Led Zeppelin as long as there's a Jimmy Page, John Bonham, John Paul Jones and Robert Plant. This isn't a nostalgia band playing the hits forever. If anything ever happened and somebody left - which I really can't see happening - I don't think we'd bother to carry on. The magic for me is as it is now.

There's always music that moves me. It doesn't necessarily mean that it's within the parenthesis of rock or blues, or whatever. It's usually far more reaching than that. It can be in many different genres.

I'm not interested in turning anybody on to anybody that I'm turned on to... if people want to find things, they find them themselves.

So many people are frightened to take a chance in life and there's so many chances you have to take.

If you are on to something creative, school can also inhibit you. The wrong teacher, man, can really mess you up.

But to put out a greatest hits on one CD was totally impossible, I just couldn't do it. The best compromise was to put out two CDs - Early Days - which is what it is - and Latter Days.

I can only listen to what I'm working on, at the time. I can't listen to anything else because I don't want to copy it.

Many people in the neighborhood liked hip-hop and house music, and I couldn't play that. You can't perform that on guitar or drums, which was what I was playing, at the time. But, I got so much from mariachi bands that were constantly playing in the neighborhood.
