You would find in a lot of Zep stuff that the riff was the juggernaut that careered through and I worked the lyrics around this.

When I was a kid, the world was such a big place, and I had no idea that I would be afforded these great moments in between doing what I love to do. I'm able to actually choose places to go which have intrigued me for the last god knows how many years, and Tasmania's always been one of those places. I see it all and yet I see so little because it's so fast.

Every place is determined by the characters who are there.

Whenever I have bid a hasty goodbye to a loved one, I've always made sure that my record collection was safely stored away in the boot of the car.

Now I'm a blithering oaf hanging on to the coatsleeves of commerciality.

I'm just lucky because my kids are grown-up - I love them, very proud of them, and we are in close contact as big-time friends, but they don't need me that much now and I can actually enjoy this wonderful world of music.

You feel quite distant by playing at huge stadiums year after year, where you only can see a great darkness in front of you
