I am loved by thousands, but I feel like the loneliest man in the world.
About ten years ago, I knew three chords on the guitar. Now, in 1982, I know three chords on the guitar.
I’m not afraid to speak out, and say things that I want to do, or do the things that I want to do, so um, I think in the end, being natural, and being, being actually genuine is what wins.
I never thought of myself as the leader. The most important person, perhaps.
Jimi Hendrix is very important. He’s my idol. He sort of epitomizes, from his presentation on stage, the whole works of a rock star. There’s no way you can compare him. You either have the magic or you don’t. There’s no way you can work up to it. There’s nobody who can take his place.
I don’t talk to everybody, so they don’t really know the real me. I don’t think anybody will...
I’m so powerful in stage that I seem to have created a monster. When I’m performing I’m an extrovert, yet inside I’m a completely different man.
It’s not a question of money anymore. I spend money like it’s nothing. You know, I could be penniless tomorrow, but I’d get back, somehow.
Does it mean this, does it mean that, that’s all anybody wants to know. I’d say what any decent poet would say if anyone dared ask him to analyze his work: if you see it, darling, then it’s there!
When the whole point of Queen was to be original.
The others don’t like my interviews. And frankly, I don’t care much for theirs.
It destroys the soul to hear that you’re all hype, that you have no talent, and that your whole career has been contrived.
I was never too keen on the British music press. They’ve called us a supermarket hype, and they used to suggest that we didn’t write our own songs.
I guess I’ve always lived the glamorous life of a star. It ’s nothing new – I used to spend down to the last dime.
Years ago, I thought up the name Queen. It’s just a name. But it’s regal, obviously, and -sounds splendid.
We’re a bit flashy, but the music’s not one big noise.
I’m hopeless with money; I simply spend what I’ve got.
Get on your bikes and ride!
The bigger the better; in everything.
Interview? Oh don’t be ridiculous.
