I can listen to all different sorts of music. I don’t really care about The Next Big Thing.
JIMMY PAGEI can listen to all different sorts of music. I don’t really care about The Next Big Thing.
JIMMY PAGESeeing people’s faces, really getting off on them, makes me incredibly happy. Genuinely.
JIMMY PAGEI may not believe in myself, but I believe in what I’m doing.
JIMMY PAGEThe element of change has been the thing, really. We put out the first one, then the second… then a third LP totally different from them. It’s the reason we were able to keep it together.
JIMMY PAGECrowley didn’t have a very high opinion of women, and I don’t think he was wrong.
JIMMY PAGEI really wasn’t needed. Just straightening up riffs, that’s all. Just two guitarists doing it instead of one.
JIMMY PAGEI don’t like being stuck in one situation, day to day.
JIMMY PAGEI don’t like to tell people what format they can get things in, or say, “I’m only going to release this on vinyl and nothing else. You have to come to my world.” I don’t like to say that to people either. But, I do think there’s a loss of romance.
JIMMY PAGEThere’s too many good musicians around for the music around for the business to be sagging.
JIMMY PAGEI think it’s time to travel, start gathering some real right-in-there experiences with street musicians around the world.

JIMMY PAGEI 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 PAGEThere’s a certain standard in classical music that allows the application of the term “genius,” but you’re treading on thin ice if you start applying it to rock & rollers.
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 know where I’m going musically. I can see my pattern and I’m going much slower than I thought I’d be going.
