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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

There's nothing I'm embarrassed about

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.

Everybody thought I was a bit of an eccentric for wanting to be out there looking at the stars, but I still do

Brian May 122 quotes

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.

George Harrison was a fabulous, fabulous, fabulous guitarist, and a wonderful example of what a rock star should be. I totally revered him as an innovator. He was always fresh, daring, magnificently melodic, full of spiritual quality, and totally conscious of the chord structure beneath the solo. And he had the courage to play simple. He never took refuge in effects, or tried to impress with speed. I hope he knew how much we all loved and respected him.

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

What is left of your dream?
Just the words on your stone.
A man who learned how to teach
then forgot how to learn.

I don't think anybody comes close to The Beatles, including Oasis

I'd put a lot of work into playing guitar and was thinking I was pretty damn good. But Hendrix came along and destroyed everyone.
