Hey man, Jaws was never my scene, and i don’t like Star Wars.
I’m as gay as a daffodil, my dear!
I like to be surrounded by splendid things.
In the early days, we just wore black onstage. Very bold, my dear. Then we introduced white, for variety, and it simply grew and grew.
I am a romantic, but I do put up a barrier around myself, so it is hard for people to get in and to know the real me.
We’re a very expensive group; we break a lot of rules. It’s unheard of to combine opera with a rock theme, my dear .
We’ve gone overboard on every Queen album. But that’s Queen.
A concert is not a live rendition of our album. It’s a theatrica! event.
Onstage, I am a devil. But I’m hardly a social reject.
The reason we’re successful, darling? My overall charisma, of course.
I got my diploma from Ealing College of Art, in graphics and illustration.
You know, I designed the Queen crest. I simply combined all the creatures that represent our star signs-and I don’t even believe in astrology.
Back in the old days, we were often compared to Led Zeppelin. If we did something with harmony, it was the Beach Hoys. Something heavy was Led Zeppelin.
We were disliked by the press in the early days because they couldn’t put their finger on us, and that was the case with Zeppelin as well.
I think Queen songs are pure escapism, like going to see a good film.
A lot of my songs are fantasy. I can dream up all kinds of things. That’s the kind of world I live in. It’s very sort of flamboyant, and that’s the kind of way I write. I love it.
I never carry money, just like the real Queen. If I fancy something in a shop I always ask someone on our staff to buy it.
They wouldn’t let us into Russia. They thought we’d corrupt the youth or something.
When I’m dead who cares? I don’t...
One year of love is better than a lifetime alone.
