I don't think I've aged gracefully.
Robert Plant
Image
My sort of stability as a character, it's never been one of my strongest attributes. I'm a bit of a clusterf*ck. I get so many great ideas that I kind of mesmerize people with another plan before the previous plan is hatched out.
Robert Plant
Image
I treat everywhere as being a center from which I can enjoy the surroundings. And so Austin is very stimulating. I'm familiar with a lot of very charming people who have brought a lot of color to my life and a lot of love.

Image
I'd like to write a big rock anthem again. I just need to listen to Korn, and then I might get the idea of how to do it.

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

The idea of actually taking sharp turns left and right has always intrigued me, but I've never really been bold enough to do that. As musicians go, I've allowed myself to be carried by other people's enthusiasm into places where I've learned a lot. There is no real tumult anymore. What I want to do, I do! I'm pretty fortunate.

You can't even imagine how it felt to have a cassette that you could take with you with a microphone so you could put down an idea and not have to hum it a million times to remember what it was.

I do spend a lot more time away from the U.K., it's important to me that I still feel the beat of the people that have been close to me for a long, long time. It's also important that I have really strong and beautiful relationships which I wish to preserve. That enables me - or challenges me, ultimately - to get a Texas driving license!

Page and I get offered everything: women, little boys, cocaine, the lot, to just go back and do that again. I don't think it would be a good idea at all. [But] I reserve judgment to change my mind in five years' time.

You know sometimes words have two meanings.
Robert Plant
Image
If I didn't do what I do, I wouldn't be as young as I am.
Robert Plant
Image
All over the world, the idea of creating an melange of international musics, it's a very healthy thing.
Robert Plant
Image
I'm not a sad old hippie - I'm a joyous old hippie.
Robert Plant
Image
I want to play tennis and fornicate.
Robert Plant
Image
I may as well do everything as if it’s brand new, and if I start to feel that any of it’s a compromise, then I’ll...I’ll be in Wisconsin.
Robert Plant
Image
I don't think that you can rehash music that was born in the Fillmore East and came from a whole different set of social and emotional circumstances. The situation has changed. Let's get real about this.
Robert Plant
Image
I'm not a flowerchild or anything like that... whatever it was.
Robert Plant
Image
There are always generic terms like 'Americana', but there are no boundaries as to where it can go.

To rock isn't necessarily to cavort.
