There are always generic terms like 'Americana', but there are no boundaries as to where it can go.
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.

I'm not a sad old hippie - I'm a joyous old hippie.
Robert Plant
Image
Well, I suppose I could do a solo album, but my god, it would be terrible!

Theatres are built because they were the boards for entertainment.
Robert Plant

What I lack in style and craft, I can make up for in joy and enthusiasm. I like to be around people who are at ease so I like to think the 25-year-old would find me quite an easy-going late-middle-aged hippie.

You know sometimes words have two meanings.

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!

Soon, I'm going to need help crossing the street.

The essence of my lyrics is the desire for peace and harmony. That's all anyone has ever wanted. How could it become outdated?...We are trying to communicate a fulfilled ideal...I am a reflection of what I sing. Sometimes I have to get serious because the things I've been through are serious...The way I see it, rock n' roll is folk music.

I think Led Zeppelin must have worn some of the most peculiar clothing that men had ever been seen to wear without cracking a smile.
Robert Plant
Image
I use the music almost as a compass in some kind of quasi-romantic way. I try and go to places that I'm intrigued by, and I take this music with me, using my name at the front.
Robert Plant
Image
Alice Cooper's weirdnesses must really make the kids feel violent. These kids are like my sister, young people of 14 or so who've come to enjoy themselves. So you put things like that in front of them, and I don't think it's right.
Robert Plant
Image
I treat everywhere as being a center from which I can enjoy the surroundings.

Image
People say that I'm a millionaire, but that's not true - I only spend millions.
Robert Plant
Image
Everybody's got something to tell you. And most people have told me to do the obvious thing as far as my career goes. Which would have sent me tottering into the abyss.
Robert Plant
Image
It's not some great work of beauty and love to be a rock-and-roll singer.
Robert Plant
Image
I have no story. My story goes from day to day.
Robert Plant

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.
