It's interesting when something new comes along, a band of dwarfs playing electronic harps or something, but I'm not searching.

I suggested back in 1980 to do a chronological live album, but there wasn't that much enthusiasm for it.

When you hear the melodic structures of what classical musicians put together and you compare it to that of a rock & roll record, there's a hell of a long way rock & roll has to go.

I'm at my best when I'm exhausted and under pressure.

I guess the solo from 'Achilles Last Stand' is in the same tradition as the solo from 'Stairway to Heaven'...it is on that level to me.

The blues appealed to me, but so did rock. The early rockabilly guitarists like Cliff Gallup and Scotty Moore were just as important to me as the blues guitarists.

I've never regretted anything I've ever done.
