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.

It's funny, after a while, you get tired of having to fight someone because they don't like the way you look.

I'm not interested in a persona.

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

Musicians playing together, it's a conversation, and ideally I want our conversation to be really intriguing and interesting and beautiful.

My music is how I feel, and that's changed from being twenty years old to being forty-three years old.
