You can't buy time. Everything, for me, seems to be a race against time. Especially musically.

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

The guitar to me, from the classical/gut-string guitar right through to Hendrix, et cetera, has all the range [of sound]. Within those six strings it is incredible what one can get sound-wise. It's just down to imagination, really.

My guitar style was developed during that 10-year period. That's me. That's the way I play, and I don't wish to play any other way. Our own individual identities are firmly stamped on this album.

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

But if you want me to knock Kingdom Come, all I will say is that I heard the guitarist said he'd never heard my playing, and I'd defy any guitarist in American not to have heard Led Zeppelin.

Crowley didn't have a very high opinion of women, and I don't think he was wrong.
