I've wanted to feel pleasure to the point of insanity. They call it getting high, because it's wanting to know that higher level, that godlike level. You want to touch the heavens, you want to feel glory and euphoria, but the trick is it takes work. You can't buy it, you can't get it on a street corner, you can't steal it or inject it or shove it up your ass, you have to earn it.

In terms of having high hopes that the level of consciousness will get higher and higher, yeah.

The energy is still similar because I saw some old footage of us when we were in France that they'd dredged up out of God knows where and I was like, the energy is still there.

I didn't really get to Led Zeppelin until I was in my 20s.

I don't worry about new young bands. The bounty of life is infinite and so is music and so are opportunities.

I'm still a little bent, a little crooked, but all things considered, I can't complain.

I have to laugh at myself.
