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.

There's nothing I'm embarrassed about

People have been rumouring that Queen are going to split up for the last eight years at least. I've got some great cuttings at home from people saying 'One thing is certain, Queen will no longer exist in a year's time.' And that was in 1973.

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 mum says I wanted to be a surgeon, but I don't remember that. I think from the time I knew what was happening, I wanted to be a guitar player.

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

I'm pretty basic as far as technique is concerned. I don't use many gadgets, and I like the sound my guitar makes, anyway.

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

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 go through major crises every few months, but then I have great peaks of belief and creativity. I'm a weird kind of animal.

Queen songs tend to be about very personal things: personal dreams and personal ambitions.

It's wonderful for me to see what 'We Will Rock You' has done. 'We Will Rock You' and 'We Are the Champions' have kind of transcended the normal framework of where music is listened to and appreciated - they've become part of public life, which I feel wonderful about.

I really thought I was pretty good before I saw Hendrix, and then I thought: Yeah, not so good.

I despise the Lottery. There's less chance of you becoming a millionaire than there is of getting hit on the head by a passing asteroid.

There are times when I flick through magazines and think I'm in danger of becoming a prisoner of my own hair.

Einstein got most of the things right about black holes. I'm not an expert, I must admit.

The music itself is very challenging, so I've never really felt the lack of stimulation. I love to be creating; I love to be making things and solving problems, I suppose, and when I'm not, then I'm not an incredibly good person to be around. If I'm not busy, then I think I would be disaster. That's just the way things are.

The Wedding March has a bit of a death march in it.

I think music is about our internal life. It's part of the way people touch each other. That's very precious to me. And astronomy is, in a sense, the very opposite thing. Instead of looking inwards, you are looking out, to things beyond our grasp.

Brian May 122 quotes

There are a lot of things in Queen albums that you don't expect; that's why we threw them in.
