I'm not interested in being known as the singer from Led Zeppelin.

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.

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.

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.

You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.

Mantras are to be recited together. Mantras are an instrument to please the celestial deities.

Very few people do this any more. It's too risky. First of all, it's a hell of a responsibility to be yourself. It's much easier to be somebody else or nobody at all.

If we take care of the inches we will not have to worry about the miles.

I mean, I think about it, but I don't design my record to get a certain public response.

I read about writers' lives with the fascination of one slowing down to get a good look at an automobile accident.

Only love can bring us peace. And the experience of love is a choice we make, a mental decision to see love as the only real purpose and value in any situation.

God's favour is happiness.

Do not listen to those who weep and complain, for their disease is contagious.

I have a lot of doubters. I use that as motivation.
