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 first nine albums there was never a Synthesiser, never any Orchestra. There was never any other player except us on the albums.

A Queen track has those big, thick, block harmonies.

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.

I don't surf the net in general. I have someone do it for me instead, because I find it sluggish.

I despise the Lottery. There's less chance of you becoming a millionaire than there is of getting hit on the head by a passing asteroid.

What we were trying to do differently was this sort of layered sound.
