My mum says I wanted to be a surgeon, but I don't remember that. I think from the time I knew what was happening, I wanted to be a guitar player.

I'm a much better musician than astronomer. I think the world got the right choice.

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.

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.

We wouldn't have put it out with the name Queen on it if we didn't think it was musically up to scratch.

I spent 20 years of my life building up Queen, and now Im spending years of my life trying to get away from it.
