Robert Plant Quotes

Alone I'm nothing.
It's not some great work of beauty and love to be a rock-and-roll singer.
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 think Led Zeppelin must have worn some of the most peculiar clothing that men had ever been seen to wear without cracking a smile.
I've stopped apologizing to myself for having this great period of success and financial acceptance.
