What I had to learn was, that I'm responsible for my perception of things.

I'm not a big fan of Robert Plant's lyrics or his singing.

I didn't want to be told what to do. I don't want to water down my music to fit into their formats. I know what rock and roll is to me, but everything's turning into one big commercial.

How many new rock stars have come around that have anything to say at all? Guys where you even want to know what they're thinking? Are they thinking? Where did it go astray?
