More quotes by Jimmy Page
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.
Jimmy Page
I have a voracious appetite for all things, worldly and unworldly.
Jimmy Page
I'm over 30 now, but I didn't expect to be here.
Jimmy Page
But to put out a greatest hits on one CD was totally impossible, I just couldn't do it. The best compromise was to put out two CDs - Early Days - which is what it is - and Latter Days.
Jimmy Page
The key to Zeppelin's longevity has been change.
Jimmy Page
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.
Jimmy Page
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.
Jimmy Page
The element of change has been the thing, really. We put out the first one, then the second... then a third LP totally different from them. It's the reason we were able to keep it together.
Jimmy Page
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.
Jimmy Page
No. I usually rest in my satin-lined coffin, actually. I'm not allowed out in daylight hours.
Jimmy Page
Every record is a portrait of the band at that time.
Jimmy Page
You can't just find yourself doing something and not happy doing it.
Jimmy Page
My finger picking is sort of a cross between Pete Seeger, Earl Scruggs, and total incompetence.
Jimmy Page
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.
Jimmy Page
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.
Jimmy Page
Every musician wants to do something which will hold up for a long time, and I guess we did it with 'Stairway to Heaven.'
Jimmy Page
I like change and I like contrast.
Jimmy Page
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.
Jimmy Page
The only term I won't accept is genius.
Jimmy Page
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.
