Back in the old days, we were often compared to Led Zeppelin. If we did something with harmony, it was the Beach Hoys. Something heavy was Led Zeppelin. |
Years ago, I thought up the name Queen. It's just a name. But it's regal, obviously, and -sounds splendid. |
I won't be a rock star. I will be a legend. |
We've gone overboard on every Queen album. But that's Queen. |
You know, I designed the Queen crest. I simply combined all the creatures that represent our star signs-and I don't even believe in astrology. |
I think my melodies are superior to my lyrics. |
I was never too keen on the British music press. They've called us a supermarket hype, and they used to suggest that we didn't write our own songs. |
I'm not into business at all. |
A concert is not a live rendition of our album. It's a theatrica! event. |
The others don't like my interviews. And frankly, I don't care much for theirs. |
When the whole point of Queen was to be original. |
In the early days, we just wore black onstage. Very bold, my dear. Then we introduced white, for variety, and it simply grew and grew. |
If we're weird onstage, I don't know what you'd call the Tubes. |
The reason we're successful, darling? My overall charisma, of course. |
I got my diploma from Ealing College of Art, in graphics and illustration. |
Who wants to live forever? |
Money may not buy happiness, but it can damn well give it! |
I'm just a musical prostitute, my dear. |
But, you know, we spent two years putting our act together. |
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 . |
