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.

The only term I won't accept is genius.

I know where I'm going musically. I can see my pattern and I'm going much slower than I thought I'd be going.

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.
Jimmy Page
Image
Actually, I'm getting one made up with eight necks and I'm going to get a wheelwright to make a big rim around it and then I can do cartwheels off the stage.

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

I'm attracted by the unknown, but I take precautions.

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

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

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

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.
