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.

More quotes by Jimmy Page

Many people in the neighborhood liked hip-hop and house music, and I couldn't play that. You can't perform that on guitar or drums, which was what I was playing, at the time. But, I got so much from mariachi bands that were constantly playing in the neighborhood.

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

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.

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.

The beauty of the band was you never knew what was going to come out next.

I don't know whether I'll reach 40. I don't know whether I'll reach 35. I can't be sure about that. I am bloody serious. I am very, very serious. I didn't think I'd make 30.

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

Live Aid did feel like one hour's rehearsal after several years, but to be part of Live Aid was wonderful. It reall was.
Jimmy Page
Image
I'm not interested in turning anybody on to anybody that I'm turned on to... if people want to find things, they find them themselves.

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

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

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.
Jimmy Page

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

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 only term I won't accept is genius.
