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.

Queen had its time and place, and at the moment I'm not concentrating on that era.
Brian May

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

The guitar has a kind of grit and excitement possessed by nothing else.
Brian May
Image
I think a lot of people would be better off in America, where at least you would find some radio station somewhere that would play you.

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.

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.
