The 50s were great because I collected stamps.
I've stopped apologizing to myself for having this great period of success and financial acceptance.
So for a long time I closed my eyes to the possibility of America having a white voice.
When you're singing we all phrase each other in the most remarkable ways. I might hit some sort of thing I've never done before - some vocal pattern. Bonzo will pick it up - he'll phrase with me instantly and then Pagey may join in or start some other phrase - it's like a quadrant.
I daresay one good concert justifies a week of satisfaction at home.
I can't regret until the end. And I won't regret then, either.
I don't know how much more expressive you can get than being a rock and roll singer.
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.
As we wind on down the road, our shadows taller than our souls.
I'm not saving lives. I'm singing and I should go placidly and joyously through the whole thing and work hard and not take it for granted. It's great to have this gift.
Six months go by very quickly when you're a genius.
Finding another way to do what I know I can do pretty well. A way that stimulates me. I'm always on some sort of learning curve. If I can continually be surprised then I'm alert.
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 could sing and shear a few sheep at the same time.
