Occupation: Musician Birth: July 19, 1947
The potential audience seems to be dwindling in the states. I was kind of embarrassed for the band because of the size of the audience..
Queen had its time and place, and at the moment I'm not concentrating on that era..
To my mind Keep Yourself Alive was never really satisfactory. Never had that magic that it should have had..
We've done an arrangement with an orchestra, but I think the best stuff tends to come when it's just the four of us..
My children hate me being such a big star. It's very hard for them to have a father who is always in the public eye..
Doing Made In Heaven was like assembling a jigsaw puzzle, but I wouldn't have put my seal of approval on it if I hadn't thought it was up to standard..
From the beginning of Queen there was such momentum that I never had any time to do anything else. My energy was 95% focused on the band.
I think a lot of people would be better off in America, where at least you would find some radio station somewhere that would play you..
When I'm gone, people will no doubt remember me for Queen, but I would much rather be remembered for attempting to change the way we treat our fellow….
Not for a million - years. I mean, I like the INXS boys, but I found the process very degrading, really. Reality television has eaten away at our sta….
A good video can make all the difference.
I've always lived in that guitar world. I have noticed kids being more into the real essence of guitar music now..
Queen songs are not about the life of a rock star - they tend to be about the lives of normal people, which is why I think the songs connect so much.….
I despise the Lottery. There's less chance of you becoming a millionaire than there is of getting hit on the head by a passing asteroid..
Everybody thought I was a bit of an eccentric for wanting to be out there looking at the stars, but I still do.
I have to build my own boat this time. It's a big sea out there, and I have a pretty small boat. I have a lot of belief in it..
I'm hopeless at playing scales. Try and be instinctive first and analytic afterwords, although it's good to study the theory of music..
You got blood on your face, you big disgrace, waving your banner all over the place..
I don't think anybody comes close to The Beatles, including Oasis.
Einstein got most of the things right about black holes. I'm not an expert, I must admit.
You want to go in the steam bath to get your vocals sounding well, but you don't want your fingers to get soft..
