Domesticity and all that isn't really for me.

I know where I'm going musically. I can see my pattern and I'm going much slower than I thought I'd be going.

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

Once I got a guitar that was relatively user-friendly, but not super-duper easy, I really came on as a guitarist, at that point. It helped. It was a super-expensive guitar either, but something needs to steer you a bit, if you're playing an instrument that is really hard.

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.

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.

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.

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

I can only listen to what I'm working on, at the time. I can't listen to anything else because I don't want to copy it.

From the classical guitar right through to the furthest electrical experiments and everything in-between, it's amazing what the guitar can actually do. I mean, when one thinks about sounds.

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

Every musician wants to do something which will hold up for a long time, and I guess we did it with 'Stairway to Heaven.'

The only term I won't accept is genius.

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

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

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

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.

But if you want me to knock Kingdom Come, all I will say is that I heard the guitarist said he'd never heard my playing, and I'd defy any guitarist in American not to have heard Led Zeppelin.

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.

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.
