People have got to let their bodies breathe a little bit more. That's the great thing about being a pompous, jumped-up rock god. There's plenty of air around you.

I've stopped apologizing to myself for having this great period of success and financial acceptance.

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

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.

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!

I think I surprise myself.

Boredom is the beginning of all destruction and everything that is negative.
