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...

People say that I’m a millionaire, but that’s not true – I only spend millions.

It’s sort of a feeling of power onstage. It’s really the ability to make people smile, or just to turn them one way or another for that duration of time, and for it to have...

You know, people can’t fall in love with me just because I’m good at what I do.

How can you consider flower power outdated? The essence of my lyrics is the desire for peace and harmony. That’s all anyone has ever wanted. How could it become outdated?

No, I’ve never thought that I was gay. And that’s not something you think. It’s something you know.

Crying won’t help you, praying won’t do you no good, … When the levee breaks, mama, you got to move. All last night sat on the levee and moaned.

We are trying to communicate a fulfilled ideal. Does anybody remember laughter?

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.

It’s all about, I think, increasing awareness, breaking away from the usual sort of news reel approach to human disasters, if you like; illuminating and exposing these conditions from a different angle.

You feel quite distant by playing at huge stadiums year after year, where you only can see a great darkness in front of you.

You can’t give up something you really believe in for financial reasons. If you die by the roadside – so be it. But at least you know you’ve tried. Ten minutes in the music scene...
