Dolly Parton's done 'Stairway to Heaven.' Anything's possible.
Robert Plant

It's sort of a feeling of power onstage. It's really the ability to make people smile, or just to turn them one way or another for that duration of time, and for it to have some effect later on. I don't really think it's power... it's the goodness.

My vocal style I haven't tried to copy from anyone. It just developed until it became the girlish whine it is today.

How can you consider flower power outdated? The essence of my lyrics is the desire for peace and harmony. That's all anyone has ever wanted. How could it become outdated?

How much do people really want to learn? I mean, some people get into a groove and they stay with it indefinitely. And what starts off as a great moment of explosive passion can end up as cabaret 25, 30 years later. It just depends on whether you go and find the right habitat to extend yourself.

I'm British - ostensibly British - but I don't know where I really belong, you know?
Robert Plant

I met some people who help in an archeological project in the South Pacific, between sailing to the Marquesas, which is an island group not too far from Tahiti, and I think, Wouldn't that be great? I have such a fascination with history and especially history in my own country.

The past is a stepping stone, not a millstone.

Soon, I'm going to need help crossing the street.
Robert Plant
Image
I was competing for attention in a four-piece band that was phenomenal, and I was trying to attack the blues from a kind of white English viewpoint as a singer.

People say that I'm a millionaire, but that's not true - I only spend millions.
Robert Plant
Image
Look, Salvador Dali did not paint because he needed the money. No conversation about materialism and music makes sense. You make music and that's that, it doesn't matter why.
Robert Plant
Image
I'm not interested in being known as the singer from Led Zeppelin.
Robert Plant
Image
It's not some great work of beauty and love to be a rock-and-roll singer.

I think we're in a disposable world and 'Stairway to Heaven' is one of the things that hasn't quite been thrown away yet.
