I guess I've always lived the glamorous life of a star. It 's nothing new-I used to spend down to the last dime.

I dress to kill, but tastefully.
Can you imagine how terrible it is when you've got everything and you're still desperately lonely? That is awful beyond words.
I'm a very emotional person, a person of real extremes, and that's often destructive both to myself and others.
It's boring to be 70, I don't want to be there, I'll be dead and gone, I don't have any aspirations to be 70...
I'm just a musical prostitute, my dear.
Excess is part of my nature. Dullness is a disease. I really need danger and excitement. I'm never scared of putting myself out on a limb.
Years ago, I thought up the name Queen...It's just a name, but it's very regal obviously, and it sounds splendid...It's a strong name, very universal and immediate. It had a lot of visual potential and was open to all sorts of interpretations. I was certainly aware of the gay connotations, but that was just one facet of it.
I won't be a rock star. I will be a legend.
