I have fun with my clothes onstage; it's not a concert you're seeing, it's a fashion show.
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.
I'm just a musical prostitute, my dear.
People are always asking me what my lyrics mean. Does it mean this, does it mean that, that's all anybody wants to know. F**k them, darling. I say what any decent poet would say if you dared ask him to analyze his work: If you see it, dear, then it's there. ... I think my melodies are superior to my lyrics. ... 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.
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 .
Love, I find, is like singing.

The saddest thing about ephemerals was that their little lives rarely held time enough for love.
You will reciprocally promise love, loyalty and matrimonial honesty. We only want for you this day that these words constitute the principle of your entire life and that with the help of divine grace you will observe these solemn vows that today, before God, you formulate.
Even if a unity of faith is not possible, a unity of love is.
A middle finger is more New York than a corporate ambush. I bleed for my hometown, and I'd die for my fans.
