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.
But, you know, we spent two years putting our act together.
Can you imagine how terrible it is when you've got everything and you're still desperately lonely? That is awful beyond words.
You can have everything in the world and still be the loneliest man. And that is the most bitter type of loneliness, success has brought me world idolisation and millions of pounds. But it's prevented me from having the one thing we all need: A loving, ongoing relationship.
If i had to do it all over again? Why not, I would do it a little bit differently.
I have no aspirations of growing old and boring.
My soul has painted like the wings of butterflies, Fairy tales of yesterday will grow but never die, I can fly, my friends...
I like to be surrounded by splendid things.
We're a very expensive group; we break a lot of rules. It's unheard of to combine opera with a rock theme, my dear .
We've gone overboard on every Queen album. But that's Queen.
A concert is not a live rendition of our album. It's a theatrica! event.
We were disliked by the press in the early days because they couldn't put their finger on us, and that was the case with Zeppelin as well.
A lot of my songs are fantasy. I can dream up all kinds of things. That's the kind of world I live in. It's very sort of flamboyant, and that's the kind of way I write. I love it
I haven't felt the excitement of listening to as well as creating music along with reading and writing for too many years now. I feel guilty beyond words about these things. For example, when we're backstage and the lights go out and the manic roar of the crowds begins, it doesn't affect me the way in which it did for Freddy [sic] Mercury who seemed to love, relish in the love and adoration from the crowd, which is something I totally admire and envy.
