The way I see it, rock & roll is folk music. Street music. It isn't taught in school. It has to be picked up.

Let's just say I'm like a ship passing through storms, resting in ports now and then until it's time to continue the journey. I once told a friend, `I'm just looking for an angel with a broken wing - one that couldn't fly away.'

There will be a Led Zeppelin as long as there's a Jimmy Page, John Bonham, John Paul Jones and Robert Plant. This isn't a nostalgia band playing the hits forever. If anything ever happened and somebody left - which I really can't see happening - I don't think we'd bother to carry on. The magic for me is as it is now.

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 may not believe in myself, but I believe in what I'm doing.

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

You don't find geniuses in street musicians, but that doesn't mean to say you can't be really good.
