There's nothing I'm embarrassed about

I spent 20 years of my life building up Queen, and now Im spending years of my life trying to get away from it.

Sanctions always hurt the poor, the weak, the children.

I think Queen tribute bands are great. However, we have to keep them at arm's length, otherwise it could be too dangerous.

There are times when I've been feeling something and played a solo that I've never been able to repeat.

What is left of your dream? Just the words on your stone. A man who learned how to teach then forgot how to learn.

I think music is about our internal life. It’s part of the way people touch each other. That’s very precious to me. And astronomy is, in a sense, the very opposite thing. Instead of looking inwards, you are looking out, to things beyond our grasp.

I like a big neck – thick, flat and wide. I lacquered the fingerboard with Rustin's Plastic Coating. The tremolo is interesting in that the arm's made from an old bicycle saddle bag carrier, the knob at the end's off a knitting needle and the springs are valve springs from an old motorbike.

My mum says I wanted to be a surgeon, but I don't remember that. I think from the time I knew what was happening, I wanted to be a guitar player.

Not for a million - years. I mean, I like the INXS boys, but I found the process very degrading, really. Reality television has eaten away at our standards of excellence. I don't like this whole culture, which has evolved, of TV being the king.

There is no way that you can ever really repeat something. I have this great belief that the magic of the moment can never be recaptured.

In print, people can do anything to you. Everything you do is picked apart. People love it they're waiting for you to make a mistake.

The guitar was my weapon, my shield to hide behind.

It's wonderful for me to see what 'We Will Rock You' has done. 'We Will Rock You' and 'We Are the Champions' have kind of transcended the normal framework of where music is listened to and appreciated - they've become part of public life, which I feel wonderful about.

Everybody thought I was a bit of an eccentric for wanting to be out there looking at the stars, but I still do
