Someone once asked me, `How does Jimmy Page strike you?' I replied, `With both hands, of course...'

I've always thought live albums were cop-outs.

I stand by every decision I've made throughout my career and my life, good or bad, up or down.

Whitesnake more than most rock bands would get a very significant percentage of women in the audience and those were the ones I'd hear the voices because from where I am on stage is a pretty good spot.

I don't avoid confrontation, people should know that.

Hard rock may have faded from the media for a time, but I've always been able to make a living, if not in America, then in the rest of the world.

I'm the last person to ask 'what do you remember' from a particular time period... I like to learn from the past... not 'live' in it.
