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.

More quotes by Robert Plant
I put a lot of work into my lyrics. Not all my stuff is meant to be scrutinized, though.
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
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
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.
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.
Robert Plant
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
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
I'd like to write a big rock anthem again. I just need to listen to Korn, and then I might get the idea of how to do it.
Robert Plant
Theatres are built because they were the boards for entertainment.
Robert Plant
I'm not saving lives. I'm singing and I should go placidly and joyously through the whole thing and work hard and not take it for granted. It's great to have this gift.
Robert Plant
Now I'm a blithering oaf hanging on to the coatsleeves of commerciality.
Robert Plant
I have no story. My story goes from day to day.
Robert Plant
People run away, pull their hair, go off in different directions, nodding their heads and going, Oh, God. I am slightly disheveled, I think. I'm really pleased that I am, because otherwise I could be in a really, really dull and boring place now, as a musician, at least.
Robert Plant
Don't be hard on yourself. And take as many chances, risks, as you can.
Robert Plant
There's no comparison between the most precious parts of one's personal life and success and wealth. If you lost someone near and dear to you, you can't relate it to any amount of fame, fortune and luxury. You just have to go on living.
Robert Plant
Life isn't moving quickly - time moves very quickly.
Robert Plant
There are always generic terms like 'Americana', but there are no boundaries as to where it can go.
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
How can you consider flower power outdated? The essence of my lyrics is the desire for peace and harmony. That's all anyone has ever wanted. How could it become outdated?
Robert Plant
I want to play tennis and fornicate.
