Robert Plant

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.

Alone I'm nothing.

I hate cliche.

The events between 1968 and 1980 were the kind of cornerstone for everything I've been able to do, they gave me the springboard.

People have got to let their bodies breathe a little bit more. That's the great thing about being a pompous, jumped-up rock god. There's plenty of air around you.

I've been scared and I've liked not hanging on to stuff where I know that I'm in my comfort zone.

Does anyone remember laughter?

No, I've never thought that I was gay. And that's not something you think. It's something you know.

It's not some great work of beauty and love to be a rock-and-roll singer.

When I was a kid, I was following black soul music.

I think that passion and love and pain are all bearable, and they go to make love beautiful.

You know, people can't fall in love with me just because I'm good at what I do.
