Robert Plant

I don’t think I’ve aged gracefully.

Really, life is life. You do a lot of different things and you have great adventures but there’s not a lot to talk about unless you’re in the middle of an adventure at the time. Circumspection is not one of my better, favorite conditions, really.

My vocal style I haven’t tried to copy from anyone. It just developed until it became the girlish whine it is today.

How can you consider flower power outdated?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 How could it become outdated?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 still like to get carried away – but passively.

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

In the past, I had workaholic issues.

I’m really afraid of getting hit by cars, like terrified of it. I’m terrified of crossing streets. I’m also very accident-prone…I think people aim for me.

Music is passionate. It’s love for me.

I was the editor of the school newspaper and in drama club and choir, so I was not a popular girl in the traditional sense, but I think I was known for being relatively scathing.

My vocal style I haven’t tried to copy from anyone. It just developed until it became the girlish whine it is today.

[on the death of Stan Lee] I owe it all to you, Rest in Peace Stan

Maybe it’s because I’m English, but in terms of how people perceive us I only pick up on the negative side of it.

I was motivated by just thinking that if you had all this external success that everyone would love you and everything would be peaceful and wonderful.

Man, I have had so much plastic surgery, I don’t even recognize myself, sometimes. If I catch a glimpse in a window or something, I think it is someone else.

Everyone asks me about being so worried or thinking about existence as if I’m the only person who can’t understand why a tree grows the way it does or why a person is in power when they’re not that great. These are questions everyone has.

I think Pete did have a hard time as a kid with his appearance. But don’t all kids have a hard time? God, I had a hard time, too. I was little with bow legs and rickets. I used to get picked on like everybody used to get picked on.

Who on Barbie D? Who on Barbie D?

The guys that don’t respect that history and tradition, I don’t think they’re going to be around all that long. And those guys who don’t know the history and tradition, I think it’s upon them to learn about it pretty quick if they want to be a success.

It was fun to sing somebody else’s song.

I don’t take gifts from perfect strangers-but then, nobody is perfect.
