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.
I Want To Ride My Bicycle I Want To Ride My Bike I Want To Ride My bicycle I Want To Ride It Where I Like
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.
Is Billy Idol just doing a bad Elvis pout, or was he born that way?
By the way, I do not wear a hose. My hose is my own. No coke bottle, nothing stuffed down there.
I always knew I was a star And now, the rest of the world seems to agree with me.
