Amazing uke playing to be relished.

George Harrison was a fabulous, fabulous, fabulous guitarist, and a wonderful example of what a rock star should be. I totally revered him as an innovator. He was always fresh, daring, magnificently melodic, full of spiritual quality, and totally conscious of the chord structure beneath the solo. And he had the courage to play simple. He never took refuge in effects, or tried to impress with speed. I hope he knew how much we all loved and respected him.

I really thought I was pretty good before I saw Hendrix, and then I thought: Yeah, not so good.

People have been rumouring that Queen are going to split up for the last eight years at least. I've got some great cuttings at home from people saying 'One thing is certain, Queen will no longer exist in a year's time.' And that was in 1973.

You got blood on your face, you big disgrace, waving your banner all over the place.

There are times when I've been feeling something and played a solo that I've never been able to repeat.

You want to go in the steam bath to get your vocals sounding well, but you don't want your fingers to get soft.
