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

I'm too old for Led Zeppelin.

You can't give up something you really believe in for financial reasons. If you die by the roadside - so be it. But at least you know you've tried. Ten minutes in the music scene was the equal of one hundred years outside of it.

Now I'm a blithering oaf hanging on to the coatsleeves of commerciality.

I put a lot of work into my lyrics. Not all my stuff is meant to be scrutinized, though.

There's still time to change the road you're on...

I owe everything to the musicians I work with.
