Well, once you get the groove of your life and you sort out the aspects of your life that you prefer, and you’ve performed all your responsibilities as a father and as a partner. And just discovery and the great adventure of having eyes wide open. There’s so much of this beautiful planet that is still actually spectacular and stimulating. There are so many amazing people that you meet along the way. By using my career as the wind in the sails of my adventures, I could see so many things and so many people that I might have missed had my career gone a different direction.
Ten minutes in the music scene is the equal of one hundred years outside of it.
Everybody's got something to tell you. And most people have told me to do the obvious thing as far as my career goes. Which would have sent me tottering into the abyss.
I'm so aware of the fact that if I hadn't taken the chances that I've taken along the line, I probably wouldn't be getting the best out of my voice anymore, I might have messed it up in that awful, predictable place.
Led Zeppelin was a very sensitive and beautiful animal beast.
I've got the big name, but I've always wanted to be in a band, one of a band.
I have to try and change the landscape, whatever it is.
If I didn't do what I do, I wouldn't be as young as I am.
The music beckons to those who are listening.
I absolutely adore and idolise women. All women. I think they are all amazing. The female musicians I've met have been far more inspiring than the male ones. Women tend to be much more creative and ambitious. I think I may have been a woman in a past life.
I listen to the crowds [laughs]... I like Blind Melon very much.
Soon, I'm going to need help crossing the street.
Come into my life, here where nothing matters. Come into my life, roll away the gloom.
The past is a stepping stone, not a millstone.
