The key to Zeppelin's longevity has been change.

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

Once I got a guitar that was relatively user-friendly, but not super-duper easy, I really came on as a guitarist, at that point. It helped. It was a super-expensive guitar either, but something needs to steer you a bit, if you're playing an instrument that is really hard.

The greatest satisfaction is not the decoration. It is knowing that I am able to help someone who needs help.

My vocation is more in composition really than anything else - building up harmonies using the guitar, orchestrating the guitar like an army, a guitar army.

No. I usually rest in my satin-lined coffin, actually. I'm not allowed out in daylight hours.

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.
