Drumming was the only thing I was ever good at.

There was absolutely no intention of splitting up. We had so many great ideas to use on the new album. John Paul Jones was incredible, coming to the studio each day with new instruments to play.

Drumming was the only thing I was ever good at.

If we'd have said we were not upset, they would have thought we were so rich it meant nothing to us, and if we say we're upset about it, they'll say money is all we care about.

Not everybody likes or understands a drum solo, so I like to bring in effects and sounds to keep their interest.

My nerves before a gig got worse; I had terrible bad nerves all the time. Once we started... I was fine.

We had offers to go everywhere and we could have done them. But what would have been the point? We were tired. We had worked hard and needed a break before we got stale. We spent six months at home and writing songs.

Sometimes you'd come up against a brick wall... or sometimes you go into a fill and you'd know halfway through it was going to be disastrous.

There were times when I blundered and got the dreaded look from the lads. But that was a good sign. It showed I'd attempted something I'd not tried before.

I hate it when people slag us off. We had done three tours during 1970 and we finished off feeling we had just about had enough. We had done so much in that short space of time, we were drained.

I dare not drink before a gig because I'll get tired and blow it. So I have to sit drinking tea in a caravan.

I remember in the early days when we played six nights a week for a month and I was doing my long drum solo every night. My hands were covered in blisters.

We once did six tours of America in 15 months.

With Zeppelin, I tried to play something different every night in my solos. I'd play for 20 minutes but the longest ever was 30 minutes. It's a long time, but whenI was playing it seemed to fly by.

People who don't take care of their drums really annoy me.

My music is the chicken soup kind. I want people to get a good feeling in their soul from these songs. Roots rock, heartland rock... whatever you want to call it is OK with me.

So we follow our wandering paths, and the very darkness acts as our guide and our doubts serve to reassure us.

What I have to offer as a writer/director is the stuff with the feeling in it.

The heavy guitars are the ones that sound good. They are not that comfortable, but they do sound great.

My goal is simple. It is a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all.

Be - lieve, Be - like, Be - LIFE!

I might be difficult today. Not because I choose to. But my goodness was taken for granted.

The catfish is plenty good enough fish for anyone.

Leaders dont fall in gutters of fear only negative ideas flow in that canal. There you will see filthy things like doubts and disbelief.

I try to work out, but a lot of hotels don't have gyms anymore, so I always try to find a local gym where there's not a ton of 'roid-heads, 'cause I can't stand them. It's tough.

I lost my election because of my campaign, not because of what anyone else did.

I love team sports.

If you ever want to eat a tuna sandwich again, don't go to a tuna factory. I visited one where they had two lines: one was the human food line and one was the cat food line - and they didn't look any different.

You know, I find people with great honesty, bodily, physical honesty, who sit just the way they like to sit, and walk the way they like to walk, and don't come into a room all pumped up, I find them elegant.

Rebecca Black might sing like a robot, but that's just proof she has evolved beyond us. Her vocal is just a slightly exaggerated version of the robot glitch-twitch stutter that's been mainstream pop vocalese for the past 10 years or so.

An entrepreneur assumes the risk and is dedicated and committed to the success of whatever he or she undertakes.

I'm a reporter - if I don't interview someone, I don't have much to say, and I definitely can't just sit down and knock out 800 words on any subject you give me.

For a director, the most challenging scenes are the dialogue scenes.

Codifying discrimination in our laws should be something we read about in American history, not on the front pages of today's American newspapers and magazines.

If chocolate were a mandatory part of breakfast people wouldnt be so grouchy in the morning.

I never was disillusioned with acting because I love acting.

I'm proud to call myself a Mashable alumnus.

The world is new to us every morning - this is God's gift; and every man should believe he is reborn each day.
