You're headed for disaster cos you never read the signs Too much love will kill you every time
In terms of love, you're not in control and I hate that feeling. I seem to write a lot of sad songs because I'm a very tragic person. But there's always an element of humour at the end.
One year of love is better than a lifetime alone.
This thing called love, it cries like a baby in a cradle all night. It swings, it jives, it shakes all over like a jelly fish. I kinda like it.
I was born to love you with every single beat of my heart. I was born to take care of you every single day of my life.
But, you know, we spent two years putting our act together.
The concept of Queen is to be regal and majestic. Glamour is part of us, and we want to be dandy.
One night Roger was in a foul mood and he threw his entire bloody drumset across the stage. The thing only just missed me - I might have been killed.
I have fun with my clothes onstage; it's not a concert you're seeing, it's a fashion show.
The lavish presentation appeals to me, and I've got to convince the others.
We're a bit flashy, but the music's not one big noise.
You either have the magic or you don't. There's no way you can work up to it.
Years ago, I thought up the name Queen. It's just a name. But it's regal, obviously, and -sounds splendid.
I'm possessed by love — but isn't everybody?
