What I want to do, I do! I'm pretty fortunate.
I can't regret until the end. And I won't regret then, either.
The calendar and the mirror - they're bastards.
There's still time to change the road you're on.
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'm not trying to be cosmic, it's just that everything's on a roll and that's how it is. The songs within the album discuss that very condition.
It's amazing, it's pumping, it's furious, it's anxious, it's happy and it's far more real than anything you'll ever experience in a Western city. Morocco is a living, pulsating entity which is rapidly changing all the time but there are parts of Marrakesh that carry on as they have done for a thousands years. The music is a reflection of that, of all times and all religions and of all the natural expectations and conditions of the people who live there.
I'm too old for Led Zeppelin.
I treat everywhere as being a center from which I can enjoy the surroundings.
I use the music almost as a compass in some kind of quasi-romantic way. I try and go to places that I'm intrigued by, and I take this music with me, using my name at the front.
My sort of stability as a character - it's never been one of my strongest attributes. I'm a bit of a clusterf - k. I get so many great ideas that I kind of mesmerize people with another plan before the previous plan is hatched out.
I’m pleased with how ridiculous I am. I like me. Though I’m not a huge fan. I know when to switch me off.
I'm not interested in being known as the singer from Led Zeppelin.
I think I'm prone to panic.
