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

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.

So far I've been very, very fortunate because it appears that people like to hear the music I like to play. What more fortunate position can a musician be in?

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

If you are on to something creative, school can also inhibit you. The wrong teacher, man, can really mess you up.

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.

I think it's time to travel, start gathering some real right-in-there experiences with street musicians around the world.

Live Aid did feel like one hour's rehearsal after several years, but to be part of Live Aid was wonderful. It reall was.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

You know what you can gain when you sit down with the Moroccans. As a person and as a musician. That's how you grow.

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.

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

The term genius gets used far too loosely in rock & roll.

There's such a wealth of arts and styles within the guitar... flamenco, jazz, rock, blues... you name it, it's there. In the early days my dream was to fuse all those styles. Now composing has become just as important.

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.

I don't go walking into things blind.
