Robert Plant

I realized what Led Zeppelin was about around the end of our first U.S. tour. We started off not even on the bill in Denver, and by the time we got to New York we were second to Iron Butterfly, and they didn’t want to go on!

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.

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

Lately, I’m spending more and more time working with non-rock musicians and leaving the mainstream – almost dissolving into another world, musically.

Being good is about being an all-round contributor in the great world of music.

I don’t see what the point is in growing up.

[On his belief in soul mates] I hope there is such a thing. I guess it would be quite scary to find a soul mate when you’re young because you’re probably going to mess it up.

Our president-elect [Trump] has at various times said he’d bomb civilians, loot oil, and waterboard, which isn’t a military strategy so much as the series of words that Donald Rumsfeld mutters so he can stay hard while he’s masturbating.

When I do eventually drop, I pray to God that it’ll happen in one of three ways. Firstly, on stage or leaving the stage, then secondly in my sleep. And the third way? You’ll have to figure that out for yourself!

[on Sarah Palin returning to Fox News] First tonight, I and the rest of America woke up this morning in the worst way imaginable.

[On his early day in the music business] I stepped on a lot of toes… at that time.

I’m just glad to be feeling better. I really thought I’d be seeing Elvis soon.

Confidence is key. Sometimes, you need to look like you’re confident even when you’re not.

I never get to go to movies, because I’m a mom.

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.

My worst habit is speaking to much.

So, I think it has to do with the product and what you take to the public. If they like it, they’re going to come see you, and if they don’t, and if you’re kind of getting out of the trendy line of things, then they won’t come see you.

[asked about the ways she is discriminated against] I get discriminated against in three ways: I get discriminated against because I’m blond, I get discriminated against because I’m an actress and I get discriminated against because I’m from the South.

I want a man who’s kind and understanding. Is that too much to ask of a millionaire?

There are things that I do that feminists don’t like, and there are things that I do that they do like. I don’t label myself.

I’ve been very lucky so far. I haven’t had any bad experiences as far as fan encounters. They don’t really recognize me. I think it has to do with my hair. I change it all the time. I like changing my hair color and sometimes it’s just not for a role. Usually, I just do it for me.
