Don't be hard on yourself. And take as many chances, risks, as you can.
Robert Plant

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.

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.

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.

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.

I like the idea of being alone. I like the idea of often being alone in all aspects of my life. I like to feel lonely. I like to need things.

I can't regret until the end. And I won't regret then, either.
Robert Plant

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

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 daresay one good concert justifies a week of satisfaction at home.
