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

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

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

I tend not to write on guitar very often. I tend to start off with keyboards.

I think a lot of people would be better off in America, where at least you would find some radio station somewhere that would play you.

It's wonderful for me to see what 'We Will Rock You' has done. 'We Will Rock You' and 'We Are the Champions' have kind of transcended the normal framework of where music is listened to and appreciated - they've become part of public life, which I feel wonderful about.
