I haven't felt the excitement...

I haven't felt the excitement of listening to as well as creating music along with reading and writing for too many years now. I feel guilty beyond words about these things. For example, when we're backstage and the lights go out and the manic roar of the crowds begins, it doesn't affect me the way in which it did for Freddy [sic] Mercury who seemed to love, relish in the love and adoration from the crowd, which is something I totally admire and envy.

Led Zeppelin is the greatest....

Led Zeppelin is the greatest. Robert Plant is one of the most original vocalists of our time. As a rock band they deserve the kind of success they're getting.

Freddie Mercury 146 quotes

Excess is part of my nature. ...

Excess is part of my nature. Dullness is a disease. I really need danger and excitement. I'm never scared of putting myself out on a limb.

Freddie Mercury 146 quotes

I never thought of myself as ...

I never thought of myself as the leader. The most important person, perhaps.

Freddie Mercury 146 quotes

I'm a very emotional person, ...

I'm a very emotional person, a person of real extremes, and that's often destructive both to myself and others.

Freddie Mercury 146 quotes

In terms of love, you're not ...

In terms of love, you're not in control and I hate that feeling. I seem to write a lot of sad songs because I'm a very tragic person. But there's always an element of humour at the end.

Following the enormous conjecture in the press over the last two weeks, I wish to confirm that I have been tested HIV positive and have AIDS. I felt it correct to keep this information private to date to protect the privacy of those around me. However, the time has come now for my friends and fans around the world to know the truth and I hope that everyone will join with my doctor and all those worldwide in the fight against this terrible disease.

Years ago, I thought up the name Queen...It's just a name, but it's very regal obviously, and it sounds splendid...It's a strong name, very universal and immediate. It had a lot of visual potential and was open to all sorts of interpretations. I was certainly aware of the gay connotations, but that was just one facet of it.

Freddie Mercury 146 quotes

Does it mean this, does it me...

Does it mean this, does it mean that, that's all anybody wants to know. I'd say what any decent poet would say if anyone dared ask him to analyze his work: if you see it, darling, then it's there!

Freddie Mercury 146 quotes

Oh, I was not made for heaven...

Oh, I was not made for heaven. No, I don't want to go to heaven. Hell is much better. Think of all the interesting people you're going to meet down there!

It's a beautiful day, the sun...

It's a beautiful day, the sun is shining, I feel good, and no one's gonna stop me now.

Freddie Mercury 146 quotes

I'm not afraid to speak out, ...

I'm not afraid to speak out, and say things that I want to do, or do the things that I want to do, so um, I think in the end, being natural, and being, being actually genuine is what wins.

One year of love is better than a lifetime alone.

Freddie Mercury 146 quotes

You can be anything you want ...

You can be anything you want to be, just turn yourself into anything you think that you could ever be.

Freddie Mercury 146 quotes

People are always asking me what my lyrics mean. Does it mean this, does it mean that, that's all anybody wants to know. F**k them, darling. I say what any decent poet would say if you dared ask him to analyze his work: If you see it, dear, then it's there. ... I think my melodies are superior to my lyrics. ... I was never too keen on the British music press. They've called us a supermarket hype, and they used to suggest that we didn't write our own songs.

Freddie Mercury 146 quotes

Robert Plant was always my favorite singer-and hes said nice things about me, you know.

Freddie Mercury 146 quotes

Jimi Hendrix is very importan...

Jimi Hendrix is very important. He's my idol. He sort of epitomizes, from his presentation on stage, the whole works of a rock star. There's no way you can compare him. You either have the magic or you don't. There's no way you can work up to it. There's nobody who can take his place.

Freddie Mercury 146 quotes

The concept of Queen is to be...

The concept of Queen is to be regal and majestic. Glamour is part of us and we want to be dandy.

I am a romantic, but I do put up a barrier around myself, so it is hard for people to get in and to know the real me

About ten years ago, I knew three chords on the guitar. Now, in 1982, I know three chords on the guitar.
