I've lived a life which has been pretty much full up with ambition, ideas, stimulus, creativity, some negativity which I try and avoid.

I realized what Led Zeppelin was about around the end of our first U.S. tour. We started off not even on the bill in Denver, and by the time we got to New York we were second to Iron Butterfly, and they didn't want to go on!

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

Old men do it better. We're not so sensitive in certain areas.

I think that passion and love and pain are all bearable, and they go to make love beautiful.

The events between 1968 and 1980 were the kind of cornerstone for everything I've been able to do, they gave me the springboard.

I'm a total soccer freak. I total soccer freak. Absolute total.
