The biggest emotion in creation is the bridge to optimism.

I've always lived in that guitar world. I have noticed kids being more into the real essence of guitar music now.
Brian May

I'd put a lot of work into playing guitar and was thinking I was pretty damn good. But Hendrix came along and destroyed everyone.

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

I never took sheet music seriously. I could do better myself just by listening to other people and using my own intuition.

I despise the Lottery. There's less chance of you becoming a millionaire than there is of getting hit on the head by a passing asteroid.

I think Hammer's very cool: he has a great voice and great presence.
