I'm not interested in being known as the singer from Led Zeppelin.

How much do people really want to learn? I mean, some people get into a groove and they stay with it indefinitely. And what starts off as a great moment of explosive passion can end up as cabaret 25, 30 years later. It just depends on whether you go and find the right habitat to extend yourself.

All over the world, the idea of creating an melange of international musics, it's a very healthy thing.

There are always generic terms like 'Americana', but there are no boundaries as to where it can go.

All I can say is that it's amazing what you can accomplish when you're young and foolish.

When I was a kid, I was following black soul music.

People run away, pull their hair, go off in different directions, nodding their heads and going, "Oh, God." I am slightly disheveled, I think. I'm really pleased that I am, because otherwise I could be in a really, really dull and boring place now, as a musician, at least.
