You can't just find yourself doing something and not happy doing it.

My vocation is more in composition really than anything else - building up harmonies using the guitar, orchestrating the guitar like an army, a guitar army.

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

Right from the first time we went to America in 1968, Led Zeppelin was a word-of-mouth thing. You can't really compare it to how it is today.

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

I played guitar all my life, all the way through the Yardbirds, but I knew that for me this was going to be a guitar vehicle, because that's what I wanted it to be.

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