Queen songs are not about the life of a rock star - they tend to be about the lives of normal people, which is why I think the songs connect so much. We're very lucky that they seemingly connect with every generation.

You want to go in the steam bath to get your vocals sounding well, but you don't want your fingers to get soft.

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

I think Hammer's very cool: he has a great voice and great presence.

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.
