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.

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

All I can say is that it's amazing what you can accomplish when you're young and foolish.

I think that passion and love and pain are all bearable, and they go to make love beautiful.

Kashmir is my last resort. I think, if I truly deserve it one day, I should go there and stay there for quite a while. Or if I really need it at any point, it should be my haven, my Shangri-la.

I like the idea of being alone. I like the idea of often being alone in all aspects of my life. I like to feel lonely. I like to need things.

Music is for every single person that walks the planet.

Don't be hard on yourself. And take as many chances, risks, as you can.

You have nothing. One should never allow themselves to think that they have, one can just touch - to have is to lack appreciation, to touch is to want to touch again.

As we wind on down the road, our shadows taller than our souls.

('Stairway to Heaven' is) a nice pleasant, well-meaning naive little song, very English. It's not the definitive Led Zeppelin song. 'Kashmir' is.

I think you spend too much time believing what other people see, rather than what you think.

You have a genius for bringing trouble upon yourself

A man will fight harder for his interests than for his rights.

The freedom of thought is a sacred right of every individual man, and diversity will continue to increase with the progress, refinement, and differentiation of the human intellect.

My heart raced. He needs you, I thought. Don't let him down. I couldn't remember ever being so happy... or so scared.

To paraphrase the Bible, what shall it profit a man (or a woman) who gains the whole world but loses his or her own family?

A wet boy has a deader, an assassin has a target, because assassins sometimes miss.

I’m not really the sacrificing type.

Call me old-fashioned, but I like my conditioners to be conditioners and my shampoos to be shampoos.

I am not very good at keeping secrets at all! If you want your secret kept do not tell me!
