I don’t feel I have to top myself at all.
JIMMY PAGEI don’t feel I have to top myself at all.
JIMMY PAGELet’s just say I’m like a ship passing through storms, resting in ports now and then until it’s time to continue the journey. I once told a friend, `I’m just looking for an angel with a broken wing – one that couldn’t fly away.’
JIMMY PAGEI’m still terrified of flying. I really have to get drunk to fly. I’ve found that I’ve developed fears I never had before… fears of heights, claustrophobia only in cities, though, never in the country.
JIMMY PAGEI always thought the good thing about the guitar was that they didn’t teach it in school.
JIMMY PAGEI do really believe that all guitarists have a different character that comes through, that’s a strong character, the stronger the person is.
JIMMY PAGEYou can’t buy time. Everything, for me, seems to be a race against time. Especially musically.
JIMMY PAGEIf you are on to something creative, school can also inhibit you. The wrong teacher, man, can really mess you up.
JIMMY PAGEJust because you play bass, doesn’t mean you have no presence.
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 deal in technique. I deal in emotions.
JIMMY PAGEYou absorb so much from whatever your environment is, as an artist, and you learn to take from it what can help you create.
JIMMY PAGEI have a voracious appetite for all things, worldly and unworldly.
JIMMY PAGEThe term “genius” gets used far too loosely in rock & roll.
JIMMY PAGEEverything that came later… the roots are all there in the first album.
JIMMY PAGEI don’t know whether I’ll reach 40. I don’t know whether I’ll reach 35. I can’t be sure about that. I am bloody serious. I am very, very serious. I didn’t think I’d make 30.
JIMMY PAGEI don’t go walking into things blind.
