I may not believe in myself, but I believe in what I'm doing.

The idea of a hypnotic riff as the prime mover of a piece of music has been around for a long time, whether you're talking about the Delta blues or music from Middle Eastern and African cultures.

Led Zeppelin didn't get that kind of Beatles screaming. We had a more sort of macho crowd. But I remember once in the early days of The Yardbirds, we were playing on an ice rink, and the stage was mobbed by screaming girls. I had my clothes torn off me. That's a really uncomfortable experience, let me tell you.

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.

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.

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.

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

Once I got a guitar that was relatively user-friendly, but not super-duper easy, I really came on as a guitarist, at that point. It helped. It was a super-expensive guitar either, but something needs to steer you a bit, if you're playing an instrument that is really hard.

I'm not a guitarist as far as a technician goes, I just pick it up and play it. Technique doesn't come into it.

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

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

I don't know whether I'll reach 40. I don't know whether I'll reach 35. I can't be sure about that. I am bloody serious. I am very, very serious. I didn't think I'd make 30.

My guitar style was developed during that 10-year period. That's me. That's the way I play, and I don't wish to play any other way. Our own individual identities are firmly stamped on this album.

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.

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.

I'm not afraid of death. That is the greatest mystery of all. That'll be it, that one. But it is all a race against time.

The key to Zeppelin's longevity has been change.

It's interesting when something new comes along, a band of dwarfs playing electronic harps or something, but I'm not searching.
