Robert Plant

I don’t have a recollection of mostly anybody I’ve hung out with.

When I was a kid, I’d be there in the stands thinking: ‘Come on Wolves, do it for me!’….And here I am again: ‘Come on Wolves,’ pleading with a borrowed laptop!

I’m pleased with how ridiculous I am. I like me. Though I’m not a huge fan. I know when to switch me off.

Led Zeppelin was a very sensitive and beautiful animal beast.

I wanted my voice to be a tenor sax, really.

I think I could sing and shear a few sheep at the same time.

I’m off everything apart from the fags and the coffee. I don’t know if it’s worked. It works up until you take your first drink.

Being on tour is like being in limbo. It’s like going from nowhere to nowhere.

I have plenty of pet hates. I can’t stand people scraping their plate or slurping their soup. I can’t stand waiting in lines. I hate people talking inanely about the Lord Of The Rings. I hate people whistling. But I’m not like this because I’m famous. I’ve always been a grumpy bastard.

I feel about Photoshop the way some people feel about abortion. It is appalling and a tragic reflection on the moral decay of our society…unless I need it, in which case, everybody be cool.

There are so few great talents, it’s always a discovery when you find the one.

I sing and dance as well, and I would like to do the whole Hilary Duff thing.

If there’s anything that I can do with my time and my day to somehow make a difference, while I’m alive, imma try to do it. Period.

It’s also that comedians don’t have the kind of narcissism that actors have. They’re writers who perform their own material. It’s more interesting. And they’re sexy because they risk more. Stand-up comedians risk more than anyone.

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

I guess I was a floater, but not really. I don’t know. I didn’t get high school.

My defenses were so great. The cocky rock and roll hero who knows all the answers was actually a terrified guy who didn’t know how to cry. Simple.

Very rarely artists come in on their own terms and get to do everything – whatever they want…it doesn’t really matter about talent in the beginning. Talent is what keeps you here, getting in the door is just about how you start in the music business.

I come from the tradition of a big Irish family that loves to sing. I love to perform.

It’s important to raise your voice in things you feel passionate about and things that you know about. Don’t raise your voice just to raise your voice if you have nothing behind it and don’t know what you’re talking about.

With my platform, I want to try and do good things and help people.
