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.

It's sort of a feeling of power onstage. It's really the ability to make people smile, or just to turn them one way or another for that duration of time, and for it to have some effect later on. I don't really think it's power... it's the goodness.

It's funny, you know - time does travel pretty quickly, and I do have good friends, and the further away I go from them in location, it matters that I keep on the same line and the same groove that I had and preserve that groove with people who I see seldom.

There's no point stepping up to the golden platform if you're going to repeat yourself.

I live with the people I've always lived with. I'm quite content.

Well, I suppose I could do a solo album, but my god, it would be terrible!

I love the feeling of letting fly, of pushing as far as I could go with my voice. The only way you can really graduate how you do it is by doing it regularly to people who don't have to be super impressed. You can do it in the studio all day long but you don't get the flashback that you get onstage.
