Chuck Klosterman Asks Jimmy Page Some Really Ballsy Questions

Chuck Klosterman and Jimmy Page, GQ:

Did you ever need to go to rehab?

No.

But you supposedly had a serious heroin problem, so how did you quit?

How do you know I had a heroin problem? You don't know what I had or what I didn't have. All I will say is this: My responsibilities to the music did not change. I didn't drop out or quit working. I was there, just as much as anyone else was.

There are some seriously cringe-worthy moments here. But there are also some surprisingly lucid answers. Come for the six paragraph intro, stay for the interview.
