Freddie Mercury

“I'm not into business at all.”

“Modern paintings are like women, you'll never enjoy them if you try to understand them.”

“I'm very emotional; I think I may go mad in several years' time.”

“We're a bit flashy, but the music's not one big noise.”

“When the whole point of Queen was to be original.”

“I always knew I was a star And now, the rest of the world seems to agree with me.”

“I like to be surrounded by splendid things.”

“Is Billy Idol just doing a bad Elvis pout, or was he born that way?”

“We were disliked by the press in the early days because they couldn't put their finger on us, and that was the case with Zeppelin as well.”

“But, you know, we spent two years putting our act together.”

“Years ago, I thought up the name Queen. It's just a name. But it's regal, obviously, and -sounds splendid.”

“I won't be a rock star. I will be a legend.”

“אני לא אהיה כוכב רוק, אני אהיה אגדה.”

“אני רק פרוצה מוזיקלית יקירי.”

“אני חושב שאני אוכל אנשים והורס אותם. יש משהו הרסני בתהילה, כי אני מנסה בכל כוחי לנסות ולהחזיק במערכת יחסים, אבל איכשהו אנשים נדחפים ממני והלאה, ומאשימים אותי כי אני המצליח יותר. זה כמו קרב כדי לעקוף אותי, ולא כדי להיות איתי כמי שאני.”

“נשים הן כמו ציורים מודרניים – אתה לא יכול ליהנות מהן כשאתה מנסה להבין אותן.”

“A concert is not a live rendition of our album. It's a theatrica! event.”

“I think my melodies are superior to my lyrics.”

“I'm just a musical prostitute, my dear.”

“We've gone overboard on every Queen album. But that's Queen.”
