I'm at my best when I'm exhausted and under pressure.

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.

The key to Zeppelin's longevity has been change.

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.

I love playing. If it was down to just that, it would be utopia.

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.

Every musician wants to do something which will hold up for a long time, and I guess we did it with 'Stairway to Heaven.'

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.

You never knew what was going to happen in concert. It was a really exciting prospect to go onstage, and you can hear that in the live recordings ... wherever we were and whatever year it was, we always went onstage determined to do our best.

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.

Let me explain something about guitar playing. Everyone's got their own character, and that's the thing that's amazed me about guitar playing since the day I first picked it up. Everyone's approach to what can come out of six strings is different from another person, but it's all valid.

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

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