Robert Plant quotes about
The essence of my lyrics is the desire for peace and harmony. That's all anyone has ever wanted. How could it become outdated?...We are trying to communicate a fulfilled ideal...I am a reflection of what I sing. Sometimes I have to get serious because the things I've been through are serious...The way I see it, rock n' roll is folk music.
There's no point stepping up to the golden platform if you're going to repeat yourself.
There are always generic terms like 'Americana', but there are no boundaries as to where it can go.
It's not some great work of beauty and love to be a rock-and-roll singer.
I am a reflection of what I sing. Sometimes I have to get serious because the things Ive been through are serious.
I've been scared and I've liked not hanging on to stuff where I know that I'm in my comfort zone.
What I lack in style and craft, I can make up for in joy and enthusiasm. I like to be around people who are at ease so I like to think the 25-year-old [I] would find me quite an easy-going late-middle-aged hippie.
I've still got a twinkle in me.

Dolly Parton's done 'Stairway to Heaven.' Anything's possible.
There's so many parts of your life, you know? People say that you don't get any better after the age of about forty or something like that, as a performer. I find all that to be a misconception. I don't feel bad about the way I present stuff. The calendar and the mirror - they're bastards.
I still like to get carried away - but passively.
So many white kids, English kids - we had no culture.
