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

I was an incurable romantic then, same as I am now. I was always pining away after somebody

From the beginning of Queen there was such momentum that I never had any time to do anything else. My energy was 95% focused on the band

We've done an arrangement with an orchestra, but I think the best stuff tends to come when it's just the four of us.

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

I think Queen tribute bands are great. However, we have to keep them at arm's length, otherwise it could be too dangerous.

Not for a million - years. I mean, I like the INXS boys, but I found the process very degrading, really. Reality television has eaten away at our standards of excellence. I don't like this whole culture, which has evolved, of TV being the king.
