If I go to places where other people are playing, I often get up and play myself. I just enjoy the sound and feel of playing.

I was an incurable romantic then, same as I am now. I was always pining away after somebody

Mantovani was a great influence on me.

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

We've done an arrangement with an orchestra, but I think the best stuff tends to come when it's just the four of us.

When I'm gone, people will no doubt remember me for Queen, but I would much rather be remembered for attempting to change the way we treat our fellow creatures.

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