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

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

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 vocation is more in composition really than anything else - building up harmonies using the guitar, orchestrating the guitar like an army, a guitar army.

The gut-strung guitar, the classical guitar, that is a whole different world on its own. When you think what the guitar can do and what every individual player does with a guitar, everyone has their own identity coming through the guitar.

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

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

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.

I'm very fortunate because I love what I'm doing.

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.

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.

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

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

I'm still searching for an angel with a broken wing. It's not very easy to find them these days.

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.
Jimmy Page
Image
No. I usually rest in my satin-lined coffin, actually. I'm not allowed out in daylight hours.
Jimmy Page
Image
I always thought the good thing about the guitar was that they didn't teach it in school.

You can't just find yourself doing something and not happy doing it.

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.
