I like people to go away from a Queen show feeling fully entertained, having had a good time.
I am a romantic, but I do put up a barrier around myself, so it is hard for people to get in and to know the real me
I love the fact that I can make people happy, in any form. Even if it’s just an hour of their lives, if I can make them feel lucky or make them feel good, or bring a smile to a sour face, that to me is worthwhile.
Oh, I was not made for heaven. No, I don't want to go to heaven. Hell is much better. Think of all the interesting people you're going to meet down there!
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.
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?
