I deal in emotions. It’s the harmonic side that’s important. That’s the side I expected to be much further along on than I am now. That just means to say that I’ve got to keep at it.

JIMMY PAGEAlmost the moment he died, they put him in Playboy as one of the greatest drummers, which he was – there’s no doubt about it. There’s never been anybody since. He’s one of the greatest drummers that ever lived.
JIMMY PAGEThe only term I won’t accept is “genius.”
JIMMY PAGEThere’s too many good musicians around for the music around for the business to be sagging.

JIMMY PAGEThere is far more sensitivity in acoustic guitar players than could ever be compared to any synthesizer. That’s a personal point of view but that’s the way I see it. I think that’s what it’s all about. The drive, the fire, the passion – it all comes out on the guitar.
JIMMY PAGEI spend a lot of time near water.
