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.
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.
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'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 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.
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.
