With Zeppelin, I tried to play something different every night in my solos. I'd play for 20 minutes but the longest ever was 30 minutes. It's a long time, but whenI was playing it seemed to fly by.

My nerves before a gig got worse; I had terrible bad nerves all the time. Once we started... I was fine.

I'm the Best Keith Moon-type drummer in the world.

Not everybody likes or understands a drum solo, so I like to bring in effects and sounds to keep their interest.

Nowadays you can't be loud enough!

Mistreating your drum set is just one step below child abuse

Sometimes you'd come up against a brick wall... or sometimes you go into a fill and you'd know halfway through it was going to be disastrous.
