I don't think I've aged gracefully.

I don't want to scream 'Immigrant Song' every night for the rest of my life, and I'm not sure I could.

I hate cliche.

I hate wasting time.

I have to try and change the landscape, whatever it is.

I know that bands that haven't put out a record for 10 years are playing to 20,000 people a night. But that's not the achievement.

I really had to think and learn about musical intervals.

I still like to get carried away - but passively.

I think I surprise myself.

I think I'm prone to panic.

I think Led Zeppelin must have worn some of the most peculiar clothing that men had ever been seen to wear without cracking a smile.

I think we're in a disposable world and 'Stairway to Heaven' is one of the things that hasn't quite been thrown away yet.

I wanted my voice to be a tenor sax, really.

I'm a grandfather now.

I've been scared and I've liked not hanging on to stuff where I know that I'm in my comfort zone.

I've got the big name, but I've always wanted to be in a band, one of a band.

I've still got a twinkle in me.

I've stopped apologizing to myself for having this great period of success and financial acceptance.

If I didn't do what I do, I wouldn't be as young as I am.

It's a two-dimensional gig being a singer, and you can get lost in your own tedium and repetition.
