Robert Plant quotes - page 3

It's sort of a feeling of power onstage. It's really the ability to make people smile, or just to turn them one way or another for that duration of time, and for it to have some effect later on. I don't really think it's power... it's the goodness. (Robert Plant)
I don't know how much more expressive you can get than being a rock and roll singer.

To rock isn't necessarily to cavort.

I'm not a flowerchild or anything like that... whatever it was.
Robert Plant
I've been scared and I've liked not hanging on to stuff where I know that I'm in my comfort zone.

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.

There are always generic terms like 'Americana', but there are no boundaries as to where it can go.
Robert Plant
I like to comprehend more or less everything around me - apart from the creation of my music. It's an obsessive character trait that's getting worse. I don't switch the light on and off 15 times before I leave the room yet, but something's going wrong.

There's nothing worse than a bunch of jaded old farts, and that's a fact.

I can't moan about any of it. I had a great time in the goldfish bowl.
