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

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

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'm hopeless at playing scales. Try and be instinctive first and analytic afterwords, although it's good to study the theory of music.

We wouldn't have put it out with the name Queen on it if we didn't think it was musically up to scratch.

...I think the popular view of Science is a solid body of truth, shared by a whole lot of learned men in a room, all agreeing on the answers to the questions of how the Universe works. Whereas nothing could be further from the truth!!! The one truth that I see emerging from the History of Science is that experiment has always surprised theorists. Einstein included!

Each gig should be unique. You're always treading that line between keeping yourself fresh and giving people something they want to hear
