When the whole point of Queen was to be original.

I have fun with my clothes onstage; it's not a concert you're seeing, it's a fashion show.

And, we have no such thing as a budget anymore. Our manager freaks when we show him the bill. We're lavish to the bone, but all our money goes back into the product.

I'm just a musical prostitute, my dear.

I like to be surrounded by splendid things.

I'm hopeless with money; I simply spend what I've got.

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

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

Who wants to live forever?

I got my diploma from Ealing College of Art, in graphics and illustration.

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

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

I'm not into business at all.

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

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

I guess I've always lived the glamorous life of a star. It 's nothing new - I used to spend down to the last dime.

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

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

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

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

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

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 .

I dress to kill, but tastefully.

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

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

If we're weird onstage, I don't know what you'd call the Tubes.

I think my melodies are superior to my lyrics.

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

In the early days, we just wore black onstage. Very bold, my dear. Then we introduced white, for variety, and it simply grew and grew.

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.

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

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

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.

Back in the old days, we were often compared to Led Zeppelin. If we did something with harmony, it was the Beach Hoys. Something heavy was Led Zeppelin.

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

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.

I want to lead the Victorian life, surrounded by exquisite clutter.

When the whole point of Queen was to be original.

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.

A concert is not a live rendition of our album. Its a theatrical event.

The most important thing darling is to live a fabulous life. As long as its fabulous I dont care how long it is.

The Queen is the only person who can put on a tiara with one hand, while walking down stairs.

I'd like to be Queen Elizabeth.

I was growing up listening to Queen. Freddie Mercury threw those incredible melodies into his songs.

There's only one Elizabeth like me and that's the Queen.

I wasn't a cheerleader or the prom queen. I don't move through the world with a mirror in front of my face, and I've never been attracted to projects that had an emphasis on what I look like.

I was always a drama queen. I remember playing in the kitchen, trying to get my mom to think I was dead and call the police. When she didn't, I would cry. I was always theatrical. I don't think any of my relatives are surprised.

I love photo sessions. I'm alone, I'm the queen, everyone's taking care of me.

Once upon a time there was a Queen who had a son so ugly and so misshapen that it was long disputed whether he had human form. A fairy who was at his birth said, however, that he would be very amiable for all that, since he would have uncommon good sense.
