The whole idea of music, from the beginning of time, was for people to be happy

I was competing for attention in a four-piece band that was phenomenal, and I was trying to attack the blues from a kind of white English viewpoint as a singer.

I want to play tennis and fornicate.

I think The Song Remains The Same is such a load of old bollocks.

When I was a kid, the world was such a big place, and I had no idea that I would be afforded these great moments in between doing what I love to do. I'm able to actually choose places to go which have intrigued me for the last god knows how many years, and Tasmania's always been one of those places. I see it all and yet I see so little because it's so fast.

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

It's crucial that I kind of keep up, without drifting into the backslapping land of cliche and lifetime achievement awards.
