Quote

Once I get onstage the tension explodes and I'm fine. I'm in another world - in a trance almost, doing what I love best, expressing myself through guitar.

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.

All my houses are isolated. Many is the time I just stay home alone.

There's so much that can be done on the guitar. And that's what is so good about the guitar - everyone can really enjoy themselves on it and have a good time, which is what it's all about.

No. I usually rest in my satin-lined coffin, actually. I'm not allowed out in daylight hours.

I have a voracious appetite for all things, worldly and unworldly.

I don't feel I have to top myself at all.

If you're working at the factory and you're cursing every day that you get up, at all costs get out of it. You'll just make yourself ill.

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.

There's such a wealth of arts and styles within the guitar... flamenco, jazz, rock, blues... you name it, it's there. In the early days my dream was to fuse all those styles. Now composing has become just as important.

I always thought the good thing about the guitar was that they didn't teach it in school.

My vocation is more in composition really than anything else - building up harmonies using the guitar, orchestrating the guitar like an army, a guitar army.

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.

From the classical guitar right through to the furthest electrical experiments and everything in-between, it's amazing what the guitar can actually do. I mean, when one thinks about sounds.

I'm still searching for an angel with a broken wing. It's not very easy to find them these days.

Crowley didn't have a very high opinion of women, and I don't think he was wrong.

But if you want me to knock Kingdom Come, all I will say is that I heard the guitarist said he'd never heard my playing, and I'd defy any guitarist in American not to have heard Led Zeppelin.

The term genius gets used far too loosely in rock & roll.

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

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

I do not worship the devil. But magic does intrigue me. Magic of all kinds. I bought Crowley's house to go up and write in. The thing is, I just never get up that way. Friends live there now.
