I'm just lucky because my kids are grown-up - I love them, very proud of them, and we are in close contact as big-time friends, but they don't need me that much now and I can actually enjoy this wonderful world of music.
From Robert Plant
I hate cliche.
Lately, I'm spending more and more time working with non-rock musicians and leaving the mainstream - almost dissolving into another world, musically.
The kind of vocal exaggeration that I developed was based on what key songs were in.
I wanted my voice to be a tenor sax, really.
I've stopped apologizing to myself for having this great period of success and financial acceptance.
Now I'm a blithering oaf hanging on to the coatsleeves of commerciality.
There have been people I've warmed to over the years but, as the situation I'm in is so fleeting and transient, I've always known it's going to be over kind of real quick.
It's a two-dimensional gig being a singer, and you can get lost in your own tedium and repetition.
I know that bands that haven't put out a record for 10 years are playing to 20,000 people a night. But that's not the achievement.
