Quote

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 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.

I guess the solo from 'Achilles Last Stand' is in the same tradition as the solo from 'Stairway to Heaven'...it is on that level to me.

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.

Domesticity and all that isn't really for me.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

The key to Zeppelin's longevity has been change.

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.

Every record is a portrait of the band at that time.

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.
