All my houses are isolated. Many is the time I just stay home alone.

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

I'm not interested in turning anybody on to anybody that I'm turned on to... if people want to find things, they find them themselves.

We went in and recorded exactly where we were at that point in time. I think because of the quality of musicianship of the band has given it the longevity. I thought the music would endure, I didn't think I would ... I always thought I'd be dead by 30, then dead by 40 and on and on. Now I'm 55 so I didn't even die at 50.

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

Led Zeppelin didn't get that kind of Beatles screaming. We had a more sort of macho crowd. But I remember once in the early days of The Yardbirds, we were playing on an ice rink, and the stage was mobbed by screaming girls. I had my clothes torn off me. That's a really uncomfortable experience, let me tell you.

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.
