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

I always thought the good thing about the guitar was that they didn't teach it in school.
Jimmy Page
Image
There's music that can affect people in their lives, and they will always relate to the point that they heard it and experienced it, either if you're playing it or you're receptive, as an audience.
Jimmy Page
Image
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
Image
I'm attracted by the unknown, but I take precautions.
Jimmy Page
Image
I like change and I like contrast.
Jimmy Page
Image
I don't like to tell people what format they can get things in, or say, I'm only going to release this on vinyl and nothing else. You have to come to my world. I don't like to say that to people either. But, I do think there's a loss of romance.

Image
No. I usually rest in my satin-lined coffin, actually. I'm not allowed out in daylight hours.
Jimmy Page
Image
I'm at my best when I'm exhausted and under pressure.
Jimmy Page
Image
Music is the one thing that has been consistently there for me. It hasn’t let me down.
Jimmy Page
Image
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.

I had another idea of getting a traveling medicine wagon with a dropdown side and traveling around England. That might sound crazy to you, but over there it's so rural you can do it. Just drop down the side and play through big battery amps and mixers and it can all be as temporary or as permanent as I want it to be.

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.
Jimmy Page
Image
I'm very fortunate because I love what I'm doing.
Jimmy Page
Image
You can't overthink the music. Mood and intensity can't be manufactured. The blues isn't about structure it's what you bring to it. The spontaneity of capturing a specific moment is what drives it.
Jimmy Page
Image
You can't just find yourself doing something and not happy doing it.
Jimmy Page
Image
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
Image
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.

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 afraid of death. That is the greatest mystery of all. That'll be it, that one. But it is all a race against time.

Led Zeppelin didn't get that kind of Beatles screaming. We had a more sort of macho crowd. But I remember once in the early days of The Yardbirds, we were playing on an ice rink, and the stage was mobbed by screaming girls. I had my clothes torn off me. That's a really uncomfortable experience, let me tell you.
