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

I've got the big name, but I've always wanted to be in a band, one of a band.

Don't be hard on yourself. And take as many chances, risks, as you can. You've got to be out there adventuring with the voice. Because if you're just a singer for the sake of it, it's not quite enough.

Each album comes from definitely a different period in the evolution of each of us individually as creators and the role that we take in life. The external stimuli changed... so the songs are full of lots of different meanings.

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.

Maybe I'm just flying my own little ego ship, but sometimes people resent talent.

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