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

It destroys the soul to hear that you're all hype, that you have no talent, and that your whole career has been contrived.
Freddie Mercury

Money may not buy happiness, but it can damn well give it!
Freddie Mercury

One night Roger was in a foul mood and he threw his entire bloody drumset across the stage. The thing only just missed me - I might have been killed.
Freddie Mercury

Onstage, I am a devil. But I'm hardly a social reject.
Freddie Mercury

The lavish presentation appeals to me, and I've got to convince the others.
Freddie Mercury

The others don't like my interviews. And frankly, I don't care much for theirs.
Freddie Mercury

The reason we're successful, darling? My overall charisma, of course.
Freddie Mercury

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.
Freddie Mercury

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

We're a very expensive group; we break a lot of rules. It's unheard of to combine opera with a rock theme, my dear .
Freddie Mercury

We've gone overboard on every Queen album. But that's Queen.
Freddie Mercury

What will I be doing in twenty years' time? I'll be dead, darling! Are you crazy?
Freddie Mercury

When I'm dead, I want to be remembered as a musician of some worth and substance.
Freddie Mercury

When the whole point of Queen was to be original.
Freddie Mercury

Who wants to live forever?
Freddie Mercury

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

You know, I designed the Queen crest. I simply combined all the creatures that represent our star signs-and I don't even believe in astrology.
