You have to ask these questions: who pays the piper, and what is valuable in this life?

You know, people can't fall in love with me just because I'm good at what I do.

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.

(`Stairway to Heaven' is) a nice pleasant, well-meaning naive little song, very English. It's not the definitive Led Zeppelin song. `Kashmir' is.

I've still got a twinkle in me.

I was young - I was 20 years old. Now I have the gift of perspective and I feel pretty good about it.

The idea of actually taking sharp turns left and right has always intrigued me, but I've never really been bold enough to do that. As musicians go, I've allowed myself to be carried by other people's enthusiasm into places where I've learned a lot. There is no real tumult anymore. What I want to do, I do! I'm pretty fortunate.
