 At the moment the Queen stuff does sell really well, but there's no guarantee it'll go on forever. |
| I had this big thing about guitar harmonies. I wanted to be the first to put proper three-part harmonies onto a record. That was an achievement. |
| There's nothing I'm embarrassed about. |
| I don't surf the net in general. I have someone do it for me instead, because I find it sluggish. |
| I go through major crises every few months, but then I have great peaks of belief and creativity. I'm a weird kind of animal. |
| I never took sheet music seriously. I could do better myself just by listening to other people and using my own intuition. |
| A good video can make all the difference. |
| The guitar was my weapon, my shield to hide behind. |
| I was actually perfectly happy when I had no money, which lasted right up until we had a hit with Killer Queen, in 1974. I never wanted for anything. |

| The Wedding March has a bit of a death march in it. |
| Everybody thought I was a bit of an eccentric for wanting to be out there looking at the stars, but I still do. |
| Sanctions always hurt the poor, the weak, the children. |
| I like to go for a walk or swimming or in the garden when I can. It's a busy kind of life, but I guess I'm lucky. |
| Each gig should be unique. You're always treading that line between keeping yourself fresh and giving people something they want to hear. |
| There is no way that you can ever really repeat something. I have this great belief that the magic of the moment can never be recaptured. |
| We do play to our audience. It's very important. You can't create music in a vacuum. |
| I'm pretty basic as far as technique is concerned. I don't use many gadgets, and I like the sound my guitar makes, anyway. |
| From the beginning of Queen there was such momentum that I never had any time to do anything else. My energy was 95% focused on the band. |
| Astronomy's much more fun when you're not an astronomer. |
