There's nothing I'm embarrassed about

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.

The guitar was my weapon, my shield to hide behind.

Doing Made In Heaven was like assembling a jigsaw puzzle, but I wouldn't have put my seal of approval on it if I hadn't thought it was up to standard.

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

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.
