There's still time to change the road you're on.
I'm too old for Led Zeppelin.
I'm not interested in being known as the singer from Led Zeppelin.
You know sometimes words have two meanings.
Led Zeppelin was a very sensitive and beautiful animal beast.
My vocal style I haven't tried to copy from anyone. It just developed until it became the girlish whine it is today.
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.
I can find my way from 500 A.D. through to 1066 pretty well as an amateur historian.
So many white kids, English kids - we had no culture.
I still like to get carried away - but passively.
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.
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 were second to Iron Butterfly, and they didn't want to go on!
I'm very, very pleased to contribute in some form or another,
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.
