More quotes by Brian May
I have to build my own boat this time. It's a big sea out there, and I have a pretty small boat. I have a lot of belief in it.
Brian May
I never took sheet music seriously. I could do better myself just by listening to other people and using my own intuition.
Brian May
Queen had its time and place, and at the moment I'm not concentrating on that era.
Brian May
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.
Brian May
I don't surf the net in general. I have someone do it for me instead, because I find it sluggish.
Brian May
Queen songs tend to be about very personal things: personal dreams and personal ambitions.

The guitar has a kind of grit and excitement possessed by nothing else.
Brian May

Brian May
Einstein got most of the things right about black holes. I'm not an expert, I must admit
Brian May
Queen songs are not about the life of a rock star - they tend to be about the lives of normal people, which is why I think the songs connect so much. We're very lucky that they seemingly connect with every generation.
Brian May
I'm not a person for sitting on beaches. What would I do?
Brian May
Sanctions always hurt the poor, the weak, the children.
Brian May
There are times when I've been feeling something and played a solo that I've never been able to repeat.
Brian May
People have been rumouring that Queen are going to split up for the last eight years at least. I've got some great cuttings at home from people saying 'One thing is certain, Queen will no longer exist in a year's time.' And that was in 1973.
