Queen songs tend to be about very personal things: personal dreams and personal ambitions.

In print, people can do anything to you. Everything you do is picked apart. People love it; they're waiting for you to make a mistake.

My children hate me being such a big star. It's very hard for them to have a father who is always in the public eye.

Sometimes if the guitar is the last thing to go on, it's very fresh.

My big hobby is photography. I collect stereo photographs from the 19th century.

I think music is about our internal life. It’s part of the way people touch each other. That’s very precious to me. And astronomy is, in a sense, the very opposite thing. Instead of looking inwards, you are looking out, to things beyond our grasp.
