More quotes by Jimmy Page
My finger picking is sort of a cross between Pete Seeger, Earl Scruggs, and total incompetence.
Jimmy Page
My vocation is more in composition really than anything else - building up harmonies using the guitar, orchestrating the guitar like an army, a guitar army.

Jimmy Page
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.

Jimmy Page
So many people are frightened to take a chance in life and there's so many chances you have to take.
Jimmy Page
I don't go walking into things blind.
Jimmy Page
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.
Jimmy Page
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
You don't find geniuses in street musicians, but that doesn't mean to say you can't be really good.
Jimmy Page
I don't feel I have to top myself at all.
Jimmy Page
The only term I won't accept is genius.
