At the moment the Queen stuff does sell really well, but there's no guarantee it'll go on forever

The first nine albums there was never a Synthesiser, never any Orchestra. There was never any other player except us on the albums.

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 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.

There's nothing I'm embarrassed about

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 think a lot of people would be better off in America, where at least you would find some radio station somewhere that would play you.
