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.

Image
I like to comprehend more or less everything around me - apart from the creation of my music. It's an obsessive character trait that's getting worse. I don't switch the light on and off 15 times before I leave the room yet, but something's going wrong.

I'm too old for Led Zeppelin.
Robert Plant
Image
I treat everywhere as being a center from which I can enjoy the surroundings.
Robert Plant
Image
It's part of me to get off on those moments where... well, what people would call attention. Obviously, that isn't the be-all and end-all of life, but at the states of creativity that I've reached, well, it helps the lyrics along a little bit.

The past is a stepping stone, not a millstone.

Who wants to see 3 aging old racists on stage, anyway?

I put a lot of work into my lyrics. Not all my stuff is meant to be scrutinized, though.

Image
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!

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

I was young - I was 20 years old. Now I have the gift of perspective and I feel pretty good about it.
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.
Robert Plant
Image
I wanted my voice to be a tenor sax, really.
Robert Plant
Image
Whenever I have bid a hasty goodbye to a loved one, I've always made sure that my record collection was safely stored away in the boot of the car.
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
Image
I come from a very small island which is packed with people. I mean, jam-packed with people. I've lived a life which has been pretty much full up with ambition, ideas, stimulus, creativity, some negativity, which I try to avoid. Austin is a great sort of stepping-off point, if you like. I'm from a temperate climate.

I owe everything to the musicians I work with.
Robert Plant
Image
I love the feeling of letting fly, of pushing as far as I could go with my voice. The only way you can really graduate how you do it is by doing it regularly to people who don't have to be super impressed. You can do it in the studio all day long but you don't get the flashback that you get onstage.

There's so much of this beautiful planet that is still actually spectacular and stimulating. There are so many amazing people that you meet along the way.
Robert Plant
Image
It's crucial that I kind of keep up, without drifting into the backslapping land of cliche and lifetime achievement awards.
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.
