More quotes by Robert Plant
Ten minutes in the music scene is the equal of one hundred years outside of it.
Robert Plant
(`Stairway to Heaven' is) a nice pleasant, well-meaning naive little song, very English. It's not the definitive Led Zeppelin song. `Kashmir' is.
Robert Plant
Maybe I'm just flying my own little ego ship, but sometimes people resent talent.
Robert Plant
All over the world, the idea of creating an melange of international musics, it's a very healthy thing.
Robert Plant
There are always generic terms like 'Americana', but there are no boundaries as to where it can go.
Robert Plant
Lately, I'm spending more and more time working with non-rock musicians and leaving the mainstream - almost dissolving into another world, musically.
Robert Plant
I'm so aware of the fact that if I hadn't taken the chances that I've taken along the line, I probably wouldn't be getting the best out of my voice anymore, I might have messed it up in that awful, predictable place.
Robert Plant
I wanted my voice to be a tenor sax, really.
Robert Plant
I hate cliché. And when you're a rock singer in 1966, or whatever it was, psychedelic blues, through to the '70s, which we know all about, and the '80s, which was a scramble to hang on in, and the '90s, which was a great time for experimentation... and I'm really still excited. The huge vast diagonals within the music that I've been involved with.
Robert Plant
To rock isn't necessarily to cavort.
Robert Plant
Soon, I'm going to need help crossing the street.
Robert Plant
Now I'm a blithering oaf hanging on to the coatsleeves of commerciality.
Robert Plant
I'm not a flowerchild or anything like that... whatever it was.
Robert Plant
I come from a very small island which is packed with people. I mean, jam-packed with people. I've lived a life which has been pretty much full up with ambition, ideas, stimulus, creativity, some negativity, which I try to avoid. Austin is a great sort of stepping-off point, if you like. I'm from a temperate climate.
Robert Plant
I'm tipping the hat and looking back.
Robert Plant
There's no comparison between the most precious parts of one's personal life and success and wealth. If you lost someone near and dear to you, you can't relate it to any amount of fame, fortune and luxury. You just have to go on living.
Robert Plant
I treat everywhere as being a center from which I can enjoy the surroundings.
Robert Plant
If I didn't do what I do, I wouldn't be as young as I am.
Robert Plant
Life is life. You do a lot of different things and you have great adventures but there's not a lot to talk about unless you're in the middle of an adventure at the time. Circumspection is not one of my better, favorite conditions, really.
Robert Plant
The music beckons to those who are listening.
Robert Plant
