There are times when I flick through magazines and think I'm in danger of becoming a prisoner of my own hair.

My mum says I wanted to be a surgeon, but I don't remember that. I think from the time I knew what was happening, I wanted to be a guitar player.

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

I've always lived in that guitar world. I have noticed kids being more into the real essence of guitar music now.

Einstein got most of the things right about black holes. I'm not an expert, I must admit

I had this big thing about guitar harmonies. I wanted to be the first to put proper three-part harmonies onto a record. That was an achievement.

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.
