More quotes by 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
I treat everywhere as being a center from which I can enjoy the surroundings.
Robert Plant
Image
You would find in a lot of Zep stuff that the riff was the juggernaut that careered through and I worked the lyrics around this.
Robert Plant
Image
I'm tipping the hat and looking back.
Robert Plant
Image
I kind of disguise my limitations by hanging out with very talented people. The excitement of the collision between the microphone-twirling guy from 1966 to now is just a fantastic adventure. There aren't many of us left and I've managed to kind of cover my tracks pretty good.

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.

I owe everything to the musicians I work with.

Image
People say that I'm a millionaire, but that's not true - I only spend millions.
Robert Plant
Image
I've still got a twinkle in me.
Robert Plant
Image
I think we're in a disposable world and 'Stairway to Heaven' is one of the things that hasn't quite been thrown away yet.
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 put a lot of work into my lyrics. Not all my stuff is meant to be scrutinized, though.
Robert Plant
Image
Maybe I'm just flying my own little ego ship, but sometimes people resent talent.
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.
Robert Plant
Image
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
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
Every place is determined by the characters who are there.
Robert Plant
Image
All over the world, the idea of creating an melange of international musics, it's a very healthy thing.
Robert Plant
Image
Don't be hard on yourself. And take as many chances, risks, as you can.
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.
