Sanctions always hurt the poor, the weak, the children..

Amazing uke playing to be relished..

I tend not to write on guitar very often. I tend to start off with keyboards..

I'm into paradoxes. I wanted to make an album about them, but the group told me I was a pretentious fart. They were right..

We wouldn't have put it out with the name Queen on it if we didn't think it was musically up to scratch..

There is no way that you can ever really repeat something. I have this great belief that the magic of the moment can never be recaptured..

What is left of your dream? Just the words on your stone. A man who learned how to teach then forgot how to learn..

The guitar has a kind of grit and excitement possessed by nothing else..

I really thought I was pretty good before I saw Hendrix, and then I thought: Yeah, not so good..

Astronomy's much more fun when you're not an astronomer.

On the first few albums the songs would grow into strange shapes..

I think Hammer's very cool: he has a great voice and great presence..

I had this big thing about guitar harmonies. I wanted to be the first to put proper three-part harmonies onto a record. That was an achievement..

I go through major crises every few months, but then I have great peaks of belief and creativity. I'm a weird kind of animal.

There are a lot of things in Queen albums that you don't expect; that's why we threw them in.

I think Queen tribute bands are great. However, we have to keep them at arm's length, otherwise it could be too dangerous..

We do play to our audience. It's very important. You can't create music in a vacuum..

There's nothing I'm embarrassed about.

Each gig should be unique. You're always treading that line between keeping yourself fresh and giving people something they want to hear.
