Flashy people aren't everything, you know. Even when they have frizzled hair.

I've been in the studio when you go through a track and you run down a track and you know even before the singer starts singing, you know the track is swinging... you know you have a multimillion-seller hit - and what you're working on suddenly has magic.

You know what I'd really like to do? I'd like to record some white Chicago jazz.

Fifty years from now, people will still be listening to Led Zeppelin. They won't even remember me.

I think it's better to burn out than to fade away... it's better to live out your days being very, very active - even if it destroys you - than to quietly... disappear.

I've lived very well all my life, even when I had no money, and there's very little I can't afford.
