If You Are On To Something Creative,

I'm Over 30 Now, But I Didn't Expect To Be Here.

There Will Be A Led Zeppelin As Long As There's A Jimmy Page, John Bonham, John Paul Jones And Robert Plant. This Isn't A Nostalgia Band Playing The Hits Forever. If Anything Ever Happened And Somebody Left - Which I Really Can't See Happening - I Don't Think We'd Bother To Carry On. The Magic For Me Is As It Is Now.

I'm Trying To Photosynthesize Like A Plant. I'm Off Eating. Although I Am Making A Lot Of Banana Daiquiries In My Room In The Blender I've Got, With Lots Of Powdered Vitamins In Them. This Tour I'm Going To Get Some Afghani Hangings And Put Them In My Room, So That My Hotel Rooms Look Like Mosques.

There Was No Working Title For The Album. The Record-jacket Designer Said `when I Think Of The Group, I Always Think Of Power And Force. There's A Definite Presence There.' That Was It. He Wanted To Call It `obelisk'. To Me, It Was More Important What Was Behind The Obelisk. The Cover Is Very Tongue-in-cheek, To Be Quite Honest. Sort Of A Joke On 2001. I Think It's Quite Amusing.

If You're Working At The Factory And You're Cursing Every Day That You Get Up, At All Costs Get Out Of It. You'll Just Make Yourself Ill.
