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.

More quotes by Robert Plant
Don't be hard on yourself. And take as many chances, risks, as you can. You've got to be out there adventuring with the voice. Because if you're just a singer for the sake of it, it's not quite enough.
Robert Plant
When you're singing we all phrase each other in the most remarkable ways. I might hit some sort of thing I've never done before - some vocal pattern. Bonzo will pick it up - he'll phrase with me instantly and then Pagey may join in or start some other phrase - it's like a quadrant.
Robert Plant
Every place is determined by the characters who are there.
Robert Plant
It's sort of a feeling of power onstage. It's really the ability to make people smile, or just to turn them one way or another for that duration of time, and for it to have some effect later on. I don't really think it's power... it's the goodness.
Robert Plant
Led Zeppelin has been there through three generations of teenage angst. And there's a generation of kids now who won't know it, post-Linkin Park.
Robert Plant
I treat everywhere as being a center from which I can enjoy the surroundings.
Robert Plant
It's crucial that I kind of keep up, without drifting into the backslapping land of cliche and lifetime achievement awards.
Robert Plant
I won't do a reunion tour unless my solo career fails miserably.
Robert Plant
Now I'm a blithering oaf hanging on to the coatsleeves of commerciality.
Robert Plant
I want to play tennis and fornicate.
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.
Robert Plant
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.
Robert Plant
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
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
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
To rock isn't necessarily to cavort.
Robert Plant
Well, I suppose I could do a solo album, but my god, it would be terrible!
Robert Plant
I can't regret until the end. And I won't regret then, either.
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.
Robert Plant
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.
