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.

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.

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.

There's still time to change the road you're on...

God created all living things to bring forth seed, not reproduce shrines.

I don't try to explain or justify my actions. I simply do what I do.

Guitar is the best form of self-expression I know. Everything else, and I'm just sort of tripping around, trying to figure my way through life.

I never worry about being driven to drink I just worry about being driven home.

If I'm two pounds heavier, I'm fat. If I'm skinnier, I'm sick. It's ridiculous. And that's not coming from agents or designers.

I'd always hoped that when i said 'I Love You' to a girl, she'd say 'I Know' like Leia did to Han in Return Of The Jedi

I'm lost in the woods right now.

I have to act to live.

I think that we have to be very careful about who comes here from the Middle East.

I shave my body probably once a week, maybe twice a week on the arms, just to keep it fresh.
