I've always considered myself a workaholic... The way I work, I have to turn myself upside down and hang myself by my ankles and wring myself out like a wet sweater, and I have to do that with other people, too, because I think that's where something good comes out.

Guitar solos, to me, should be a really articulate way to make fun of guitar solos.

Foolishly play with the fires of rumor, only to risk being burned by its treacherous flames.

I think people listen to whatever they think is good.

Sometimes Queens' music is dark, but somehow it's ok to deliver it with a smile on your face because thing's are still going to kick in.

I think music is a selfish masturbatory event - for the listener, the maker, the candlestick...maker.

Records don't have to be perfect.
