Artists say that paintings are never done. I sort of feel the same way about music. I would never say something is perfect. There are performances that can generate a lot of emotion in me when I hear them, but I can't say if anything is perfect.

(The Song Remains The Same) is not a great film, but there's no point in making excuses. It's just a reasonably honest statement of where we were at that particular time. It's very difficult for me to watch it now, but I'd like to see it in a year's time just to see how it stands up.

My favorite guitar solo of all time was Elliot Randall's on `Reelin' In The Years'.

You never knew what was going to happen in concert. It was a really exciting prospect to go onstage, and you can hear that in the live recordings ... wherever we were and whatever year it was, we always went onstage determined to do our best.

I can tell how far I ought to be going, I know how to get there, all I've got to do is keep playing.

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

Domesticity and all that isn't really for me.
