We're a bit flashy, but the music's not one big noise.
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.
You're headed for disaster cos you never read the signs Too much love will kill you every time
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.
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?
I want to lead the Victorian life, surrounded by exquisite clutter.
I don't talk to everybody, so they don't really know the real me. I don't think anybody will...
I am loved by thousands, but I feel like the loneliest man in the world.
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.
