More quotes by Jimmy Page
Many people in the neighborhood liked hip-hop and house music, and I couldn't play that. You can't perform that on guitar or drums, which was what I was playing, at the time. But, I got so much from mariachi bands that were constantly playing in the neighborhood.
Jimmy Page
It's interesting when something new comes along, a band of dwarfs playing electronic harps or something, but I'm not searching.
Jimmy Page
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.
Jimmy Page
Music is the one thing that has been consistently there for me. It hasn’t let me down.
Jimmy Page
I always thought the good thing about the guitar was that they didn't teach it in school.
Jimmy Page
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.
Jimmy Page
If you are on to something creative, school can also inhibit you. The wrong teacher, man, can really mess you up.
Jimmy Page
I'm attracted by the unknown, but I take precautions.
Jimmy Page
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.
Jimmy Page
I like change and I like contrast.
Jimmy Page
The term genius gets used far too loosely in rock & roll.
Jimmy Page
I'm over 30 now, but I didn't expect to be here.
Jimmy Page
The key to Zeppelin's longevity has been change.
Jimmy Page
The gut-strung guitar, the classical guitar, that is a whole different world on its own. When you think what the guitar can do and what every individual player does with a guitar, everyone has their own identity coming through the guitar.
Jimmy Page
I think it's time to travel, start gathering some real right-in-there experiences with street musicians around the world.
Jimmy Page
I'm not interested in turning anybody on to anybody that I'm turned on to... if people want to find things, they find them themselves.
Jimmy Page
The only term I won't accept is genius.
Jimmy Page
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
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.
Jimmy Page
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.
Jimmy Page
