Zitat des Tages von Robert Plant:
The kind of vocal exaggeration that I developed was based on what key songs were in.
I really had to think and learn about musical intervals.
How can you consider flower power outdated? The essence of my lyrics is the desire for peace and harmony. That's all anyone has ever wanted. How could it become outdated?
I have to try and change the landscape, whatever it is.
I don't think I've aged gracefully.
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.
The events between 1968 and 1980 were the kind of cornerstone for everything I've been able to do, they gave me the springboard.
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!
People say that I'm a millionaire, but that's not true - I only spend millions.
We are trying to communicate a fulfilled ideal. Does anybody remember laughter?
All over the world, the idea of creating an melange of international musics, it's a very healthy thing.
I'm British - ostensibly British - but I don't know where I really belong, you know?
I think that passion and love and pain are all bearable, and they go to make love beautiful.
I can't moan about any of it. I had a great time in the goldfish bowl.
You know, people can't fall in love with me just because I'm good at what I do.
My vocal style I haven't tried to copy from anyone. It just developed until it became the girlish whine it is today.
I owe everything to the musicians I work with.
You have to ask these questions: who pays the piper, and what is valuable in this life?
When you're 20 years old and you're making points with volume and dynamism, it's a fantastic thing to do.
I think I could sing and shear a few sheep at the same time.
I'm not a flowerchild or anything like that... whatever it was.
I don't want to scream 'Immigrant Song' every night for the rest of my life, and I'm not sure I could.
There's no point stepping up to the golden platform if you're going to repeat yourself.
It's a two-dimensional gig being a singer, and you can get lost in your own tedium and repetition.
I like the idea of being alone. I like the idea of often being alone in all aspects of my life. I like to feel lonely. I like to need things.
I've still got a twinkle in me.
You can't give up something you really believe in for financial reasons. If you die by the roadside - so be it. But at least you know you've tried. Ten minutes in the music scene was the equal of one hundred years outside of it.
Alone I'm nothing.
Does anyone remember laughter?
I think we're in a disposable world and 'Stairway to Heaven' is one of the things that hasn't quite been thrown away yet.
I can find my way from 500 A.D. through to 1066 pretty well as an amateur historian.
Soon, I'm going to need help crossing the street.
So for a long time I closed my eyes to the possibility of America having a white voice.
Whenever I have bid a hasty goodbye to a loved one, I've always made sure that my record collection was safely stored away in the boot of the car.
I daresay one good concert justifies a week of satisfaction at home.
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.
