To my mind Keep Yourself Alive was never really satisfactory. Never had that magic that it should have had.

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.

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

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.

Queen had its time and place, and at the moment I'm not concentrating on that era.

For a time I didn't want to answer any questions about Queen. I'd like to be viewed as something alive and relevant, not some fossil.

I like to go for a walk or swimming or in the garden when I can. It's a busy kind of life, but I guess I'm lucky.
