So many people are frightened to take a chance in life and there's so many chances you have to take.

Every musician wants to do something which will hold up for a long time, and I guess we did it with 'Stairway to Heaven.'

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

There is far more sensitivity in acoustic guitar players than could ever be compared to any synthesizer. That's a personal point of view but that's the way I see it. I think that's what it's all about. The drive, the fire, the passion - it all comes out on the guitar.

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

I really wasn't needed... Just straightening up riffs, that's all. Just two guitarists doing it instead of one.

So far I've been very, very fortunate because it appears that people like to hear the music I like to play. What more fortunate position can a musician be in?
