Robert Plant

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

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

I want to play tennis and fornicate.

When I was a kid I used to hide behind the curtains at home at Christmas and I used to try and be Elvis. There was a certain ambience between the curtains and the French windows, there was a certain sound there for a ten-year-old. That was all the ambience I got at ten years old…I think!

Possibly the whole creative whirlwind of any musician’s life is based on garnering and developing and absorbing more and more experience.

As we wind on down the road, our shadows taller than our souls.

I’ve already done so much. The rest is just gravy, it’s like frosting on the cake

I love you like a fat kid loves cake.

Who can wear the skimpiest outfit? I mean come on. These young girls are talented singers, they don’t need that, but they feel they have to be in competition to have the least covering. That’s the saddest thing.

Guys act strange around me. I swear I don’t know why!

To be loved is a strength. To love is a weakness.

I don’t want to wear high heels because I can’t run around with my son. So, for real life, I like to be in jeans and nice-cut shirts. I appreciate good tailoring.

I have no enabler bone in my body – not one. I’m sort of like, ‘Oh, are you going crazy? I’ll be back in an hour.’

I do worry – a lot.

I was a very confident little kid.

A man in love is incomplete until he has married. Then he’s finished.

Many people worry so much about managing their careers, but rarely spend half that much energy managing their lives. I want to make my life, not just my job, the best it can be. The rest will work itself out.

D.C. went under federal control in 1801 and it wasn’t until the 1960s that D.C.’s then three quarters of a million citizens, mostly African American, were given even the most basic electoral rights … With that level of restriction the mayor of D.C. gets to run the city the way a school council president gets to run her high school.

It’s a sport to me. I never want to get too complacent with my writing or my flow.

[While Amy Poehler and I were doing press for Sisters,] every single interviewer asked, ‘Isn’t this an amazing time for women in comedy?’ People really wanted us to be openly grateful-‘Thank you so much!’-and we were like, ‘No, it’s a terrible time. If you were to really look at it, the boys are still getting more money for a lot of garbage, while the ladies are hustling and doing amazing work for less.’

I’m not a musician, I’m an entertainer.
