It's OK to quote from your past. But I'm more interested in quoting from my present and pointing towards the future.
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
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

It's funny, you know - time does travel pretty quickly, and I do have good friends, and the further away I go from them in location, it matters that I keep on the same line and the same groove that I had and preserve that groove with people who I see seldom.

The music beckons to those who are listening.

Boredom is the beginning of all destruction and everything that is negative.
Robert Plant
Image
I'm not trying to be cosmic, it's just that everything's on a roll and that's how it is. The songs within the album discuss that very condition.

As we wind on down the road, our shadows taller than our souls.

I won't do a reunion tour unless my solo career fails miserably.

Ten minutes in the music scene is the equal of one hundred years outside of it.
Robert Plant

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.
Robert Plant
Image
My vocal style I haven't tried to copy from anyone. It just developed until it became the girlish whine it is today.
Robert Plant
Image
I daresay one good concert justifies a week of satisfaction at home.
Robert Plant
Image
Music means communication to me. I say 'listen you people out there, listen to my music, let's be one.' Music is a friend to me when I am lonely, when I am blue. You can't define music 'cause music is cosmos and it knows no barrier or definition. You have to feel music to dig it.

You know sometimes words have two meanings.
Robert Plant
Image
The trouble is now, with rock'n'roll and stuff, it gets so big that it loses what once upon a time was a magnificent thing, where it was special and quite elusive and occasionally a little sinister and it had its own world nobody could get in.

The whole idea of music, from the beginning of time, was for people to be happy
Robert Plant
Image
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.

People have got to let their bodies breathe a little bit more. That's the great thing about being a pompous, jumped-up rock god. There's plenty of air around you.
Robert Plant
Image
There's a constant conflict, really, within me. As much as I really enjoy what I do at home... I play on my own little soccer team and I've been taking part in the community and living the life of any ordinary guy, I always find myself wistful and enveloped in a feeling I can't really get out of my system.
