Quote

Some audiences can shake and bang their heads on the stage to riffs all night long, but subtlety is an art that must be mastered if you're going to be remembered.

All over the world, the idea of creating an melange of international musics, it's a very healthy thing.
Robert Plant

The trouble is now, with rock'n'roll and stuff, it gets so big that it loses what once upon a time was a magnificent thing, where it was special and quite elusive and occasionally a little sinister and it had its own world nobody could get in.

The States were much more fun. L.A. was L.A. It's not L.A. now. L.A. infested with jaded 12-year-olds is not the L.A. that I really dug.

Soon, I'm going to need help crossing the street.

I may as well do everything as if it’s brand new, and if I start to feel that any of it’s a compromise, then I’ll...I’ll be in Wisconsin.

Led Zeppelin has been there through three generations of teenage angst. And there's a generation of kids now who won't know it, post-Linkin Park.

I kind of disguise my limitations by hanging out with very talented people. The excitement of the collision between the microphone-twirling guy from 1966 to now is just a fantastic adventure. There aren't many of us left and I've managed to kind of cover my tracks pretty good.

I can't regret until the end. And I won't regret then, either.

If I didn't do what I do, I wouldn't be as young as I am.

There's no comparison between the most precious parts of one's personal life and success and wealth. If you lost someone near and dear to you, you can't relate it to any amount of fame, fortune and luxury. You just have to go on living.

I was young - I was 20 years old. Now I have the gift of perspective and I feel pretty good about it.

I've still got a twinkle in me.

I come from a very small island which is packed with people. I mean, jam-packed with people. I've lived a life which has been pretty much full up with ambition, ideas, stimulus, creativity, some negativity, which I try to avoid. Austin is a great sort of stepping-off point, if you like. I'm from a temperate climate.

I'd like to write a big rock anthem again. I just need to listen to Korn, and then I might get the idea of how to do it.

I put a lot of work into my lyrics. Not all my stuff is meant to be scrutinized, though.

Who wants to see 3 aging old racists on stage, anyway?

You would find in a lot of Zep stuff that the riff was the juggernaut that careered through and I worked the lyrics around this.

There are always generic terms like 'Americana', but there are no boundaries as to where it can go.

The idea of actually taking sharp turns left and right has always intrigued me, but I've never really been bold enough to do that. As musicians go, I've allowed myself to be carried by other people's enthusiasm into places where I've learned a lot. There is no real tumult anymore. What I want to do, I do! I'm pretty fortunate.

I won't do a reunion tour unless my solo career fails miserably.
