I never carry money, just like the real Queen. If I fancy something in a shop I always ask someone on our staff to buy it.
When I'm dead who cares? I don't...
I never thought of myself as the leader. The most important person, perhaps.
Jimi Hendrix is very important. He's my idol. He sort of epitomizes, from his presentation on stage, the whole works of a rock star. There's no way you can compare him. You either have the magic or you don't. There's no way you can work up to it. There's nobody who can take his place.
And, we have no such thing as a budget anymore. Our manager freaks when we show him the bill. We're lavish to the bone, but all our money goes back into the product.
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.
Years ago, I thought up the name Queen. It's just a name. But it's regal, obviously, and -sounds splendid.
We're a bit flashy, but the music's not one big noise.
I'm hopeless with money; I simply spend what I've got.
Get on your bikes and ride!
Don't stop me now, I'm having such a good time, I'm having a ball
Robert Plant was always my favorite singer-and hes said nice things about me, you know.
You're headed for disaster cos you never read the signs Too much love will kill you every time
If I didn't do this well, I just wouldn't have anything to do... I can't cook, and I'd be a terrible housewife.
