Robert Plant quotes about
I'm able to actually choose places to go which have intrigued me for the last god knows how many years, and Tasmania's always been one of those places.
The calendar and the mirror - they're bastards.
Does anyone remember laughter?
You know, people can't fall in love with me just because I'm good at what I do.
I owe everything to the musicians I work with.
I treat everywhere as being a center from which I can enjoy the surroundings.
Don't be hard on yourself. And take as many chances, risks, as you can.
My vocal style I haven't tried to copy from anyone. It just developed until it became the girlish whine it is today.
I've stopped apologizing to myself for having this great period of success and financial acceptance.
When you're singing we all phrase each other in the most remarkable ways. I might hit some sort of thing I've never done before - some vocal pattern. Bonzo will pick it up - he'll phrase with me instantly and then Pagey may join in or start some other phrase - it's like a quadrant.
I can't regret until the end. And I won't regret then, either.
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.
Finding another way to do what I know I can do pretty well. A way that stimulates me. I'm always on some sort of learning curve. If I can continually be surprised then I'm alert.
The music beckons to those who are listening.
