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

You can't just find yourself doing something and not happy doing it.

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.

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

Image
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 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.

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.

I don't go walking into things blind.

So many people are frightened to take a chance in life and there's so many chances you have to take.

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

My favorite guitar solo of all time was Elliot Randall's on `Reelin' In The Years'.
Jimmy Page
Image
Actually, I'm getting one made up with eight necks and I'm going to get a wheelwright to make a big rim around it and then I can do cartwheels off the stage.

This week, I'm a gypsy. Maybe next week it'll be glitter rock.

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.
