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
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.

Image
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.

Every place is determined by the characters who are there.

The music beckons to those who are listening.

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.

Look, Salvador Dali did not paint because he needed the money. No conversation about materialism and music makes sense. You make music and that's that, it doesn't matter why.

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.

There are always generic terms like 'Americana', but there are no boundaries as to where it can go.

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.

It's OK to quote from your past. But I'm more interested in quoting from my present and pointing towards the future.

Image
It's crucial that I kind of keep up, without drifting into the backslapping land of cliche and lifetime achievement awards.
Robert Plant

I'm British - ostensibly British - but I don't know where I really belong, you know?
Robert Plant
Image
Now I'm a blithering oaf hanging on to the coatsleeves of commerciality.

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.

The trouble is now, with rock'n'roll and stuff, it gets so big that it loses what once upon a time was a magnificent thing, where it was special and quite elusive and occasionally a little sinister and it had its own world nobody could get in.
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
I think that passion and love and pain are all bearable, and they go to make love beautiful.

Since I was a kid, I've had an absolute obsession with particular kinds of American music. Mississippi Delta blues of the Thirties, Chicago blues of the Fifties, West Coast music of the mid-Sixties - but I'd never really touched on dark Americana.

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!
