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

The greatest satisfaction is not the decoration. It is knowing that I am able to help someone who needs help.

So many people are frightened to take a chance in life and there's so many chances you have to take.

Everything that came later... the roots are all there in the first album.

Led Zeppelin didn't get that kind of Beatles screaming. We had a more sort of macho crowd. But I remember once in the early days of The Yardbirds, we were playing on an ice rink, and the stage was mobbed by screaming girls. I had my clothes torn off me. That's a really uncomfortable experience, let me tell you.

I think it was that we were really seasoned musicians. We had serious roots that spanned different cultures, obviously the blues.

I don't go walking into things blind.
