Our albums just tend to be collections of songs really, because we all write in the group, all four of us.

I mean the only thing that is hopefully good about us is after the arguments we can actually still face each other the next day or the day after and talk about something else and sort of get over it.

Live Aid turned our world upside down.

Queen has taken the all of our time for last four or five years, you know.

Our albums just tend to be collections of songs really, because we all write in the group, all four of us.

Four personalities are bound to clash.

I didn't actually realise what apartheid meant. I'm probably a bit naive, but I thought it was more of a vague segregation, like on the beaches and buses.

Yes, it is a rehearsed show, yes, it was analogy of going to see a play at the theatre, where everything has to be in place and whole things, everything being works, all works together to get the best effect you know it's more like an actor learning a part.

No, we have our ups and downs, but we're all very up at the moment.

But I've always been accused of being a bit tight with money, so it hasn't particularly changed my lifestyle.

There was always a lot of American music in England until, obviously when the Beatles came around, then there was a shift towards English music, but before then American music was the main thing.

Then we did what we called basically I suppose a club tour in England, which was the time I think that our second album came out, we club toured around the whole country where the venues were hold to five hundreds upwards to that sort of thing you know.

Freddie and Brian tend to write the majority of the material.

I'll probably make loads of plans, and then just sit around on my bottom all day long and do nothing.

Arguments are healthy. They clear the air.

Lot's of marriages don't last as long as Queen have been together.

You know, my children go to a local, local catholic school just down the road.

That first bass I had was an Eko, a very old thing with a thin neck, I had that for quite a while.

Brian and I were both science students. You know science sort of math and physics side, you know.

I don't want to be nasty but let's just say Robbie Williams is no Freddie Mercury.

I have a few personal ambitions for the band.

I was too shy to go and meet Princess Diana.

We've always decided ourselves what we wanted to put out as our singles and that sort of things.

When you start out without a record nobody knows you, but if you have a record it's a lot easier.

The band was rejuvenated by that wonderful day. It breathed new life into us.

No, I mean we'd all definitely involved in the music business someway or another, because we're all living with it, and in it, and also we've got all sorts of things we would like to do.

I like touring, I like being in the studio, a bit of both. I like to have a bit of time at home as well.

In a way it costs thousands dollars before you could actually go out to put the show on because you'll need equipments, all the lights you know, and that's more just going out and playing you know.

I went along and basically learned a few of the songs they were doing at the time, which were quite a few of the songs we ended up doing on our first album.

I wouldn't do go to another band.

When we recorded our first album sixteen track machines were the thing.

I started recording because I was always complaining about the records that I was getting of my songs. At least if I did them and messed them up, I wouldn't have anyone else to blame.

Then I decided I couldn't just crawl in the corner and die, so I started putting pen to paper and wrote some songs. I had no idea what for or who I was going to work with. I tried to find my way and direction.

The things in my songs are the edited highlights of my life. I don't go seeking out strange sexual experiences every day of the week.

The way you look for songs, you find yourself looking for little signals and clues about life and how things are.

All my songs were solo voices. Just me singing. In fact, that was the gimmick - no gimmick. Just singing straight with not too much background.

It's part of the calling to at least do a few songs in the show that give people some hope. There's so much hurt in this world and... music is such a great healing balm and a great way to forget your troubles.

Again, I say I will be glad to tell what songs I have ever sung, because singing is my business.

My vocal ability is very limited, but I'm fortunate in that I can write the songs around my vocal limitations.

I've written many extra verses to songs that I learned to sing - an extra verse about a friend, or just add some verse - and that led to writing my own songs.

When I heard his first songs, Dylan was answering certain questions that I had all my life been asking myself.

The bands that wrote the big, heroic rock songs - I really wanted to make a record like that.

Every time the guys were knocked out by my guitar playing and the girls were knocked out by the type of songs I did. That set us apart from the average blues band.

This is an album of songs that I've always loved, tunes that I heard. For the first time in 53 years of recording, I really had control over an entire album, start to finish.

All my songs are where I am.

That's what I like to do, I like to make songs.

We would turn everything into songs in those days.

Sometimes, but the year I lived in France I started to write songs.

Writing songs has a therapeutic effect, and it either kills off love or wins the heart of the lover.
