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'm not a person for sitting on beaches. What would I do?

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

I don't surf the net in general. I have someone do it for me instead, because I find it sluggish.

I'm pretty basic as far as technique is concerned. I don't use many gadgets, and I like the sound my guitar makes, anyway.

I had this idea... I wanted the sound to sing and have that thickness but yet still have an edge so that it could articulate. So my dad and I designed the guitar... the one that was made from an old fireplace.

There is no way that you can ever really repeat something. I have this great belief that the magic of the moment can never be recaptured.
