I'm not a guitarist as far as a technician goes, I just pick it up and play it. Technique doesn't come into it.

I'm still searching for an angel with a broken wing. It's not very easy to find them these days.

I can communicate far better on a guitar than I can through my mouth.

There's music that can affect people in their lives, and they will always relate to the point that they heard it and experienced it, either if you're playing it or you're receptive, as an audience.

I know what I want to get down and I haven't got much time to do it in.

There is no way I would play guitar like a tour de force like I did in Led Zeppelin. John Bonham, phenomenal drummer, young man with his technique, but do you think he would ever have the opportunity to play like that in another band? Of course he hadn't.

Seeing people's faces, really getting off on them, makes me incredibly happy. Genuinely.
