I'm not a guitar hero.

Spirit is a band I really love.

I spend a lot of time near water.

I bet you can't play slide piano.

I like change and I like contrast.

Time sometimes passes quite quickly.

I don't go walking into things blind.

I was really competitive with myself.

Led Zeppelin wasn't a corporate entity.

I don't feel I have to top myself at all.

The only term I won't accept is "genius."

We weren't making money in the Yardbirds.

I will still carry on changing all the time.

I've never regretted anything I've ever done.

I really love playing live - it's such a gas.

Domesticity and all that isn't really for me.

I don't deal in technique. I deal in emotions.

I'm over 30 now, but I didn't expect to be here.

The key to Zeppelin's longevity has been change.

I do not recall ever seeing Spirit perform live.

I really don't listen to Led Zeppelin that much.

I'm just looking for an angel with a broken wing.

I don't care what critics and other people think.

I'm very fortunate because I love what I'm doing.

The benchmark of quality I go for is pretty high.

I'm always looking for the creative spark. Always.

You want that - peers respecting what you're doing.

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

I wasn't into jazz so much - I preferred things raw.

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

I'm attracted by the unknown, but I take precautions.

I don't like being stuck in one situation, day to day.

Zeppelin vinyl is quite revered in audiophile circles.

The album's not dead for me; I still buy vinyl albums.

'Boogie Chillen',' by John Lee Hooker - that is a riff.

I have one of those gravel-y voices with no range to it.

I liked the Sex Pistols' music. I thought it was superb.

If people want to find things, they find them themselves.

The term "genius" gets used far too loosely in rock & roll.

I may not believe in myself, but I believe in what I'm doing.

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

I don't think the critics could understand what we were doing.

Just because you play bass, doesn't mean you have no presence.

I was always good at hearing complete arrangements in my head.

I love playing. If it was down to just that, it would be utopia.

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

All my houses are isolated. Many is the time I just stay home alone.

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

Isolation doesn't bother me at all. It gives me a sense of security.

I can communicate far better on a guitar than I can through my mouth.
