I like change and I like contrast.

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.

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.

There's so many different styles and facets of the 360-degree musical sphere to listen to. From tribal to classical music, it's all there. If the bottom was to sag out of that, for God's sake, help us all.

Artists say that paintings are never done. I sort of feel the same way about music. I would never say something is perfect. There are performances that can generate a lot of emotion in me when I hear them, but I can't say if anything is perfect.

My finger picking is sort of a cross between Pete Seeger, Earl Scruggs, and total incompetence.

Music is the one thing that has been consistently there for me. It hasn’t let me down.

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

I deal in emotions. It's the harmonic side that's important. That's the side I expected to be much further along on than I am now. That just means to say that I've got to keep at it.

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.

My favorite guitar solo of all time was Elliot Randall's on `Reelin' In The Years'.

The key to Zeppelin's longevity has been change.

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

I think it's time to travel, start gathering some real right-in-there experiences with street musicians around the world.

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

You can't overthink the music. Mood and intensity can't be manufactured. The blues isn't about structure it's what you bring to it. The spontaneity of capturing a specific moment is what drives it.

Live Aid did feel like one hour's rehearsal after several years, but to be part of Live Aid was wonderful. It reall was.

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.

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

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.
