I've still got a twinkle in me.

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.

Life consists of what man is thinking about all day.

I'd love to fly. I think that'd be cool.

It is my firm belief that all successful languages are grown and not merely designed from first principles

The contrived language and the flattering attitude rarely come with the virtue.

I think men and women's burdens and destinies are intertwined.

I was a stepchild in two different families. The hardest thing about being a stepchild is you know that in some way everything would be easier if you didnt exist.

I want to make America better!

But this is altogether a mark of the most common sort of men, for it is in your power whenever you choose to retire into yourself.

He can who thinks he can, and he can't who thinks he can't.

Speeches and me don't get along sometimes. It is kind of like putting a tie too tight on my neck. I'm going to do whatever feels right.
