More quotes by Brian May
The guitar was my weapon, my shield to hide behind.
Brian May
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.
Brian May
I'm hopeless at playing scales. Try and be instinctive first and analytic afterwords, although it's good to study the theory of music.
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
What is left of your dream? Just the words on your stone. A man who learned how to teach then forgot how to learn.
Brian May
I tend not to write on guitar very often. I tend to start off with keyboards.
Brian May
What we were trying to do differently was this sort of layered sound.
Brian May
The potential audience seems to be dwindling in the states. I was kind of embarrassed for the band because of the size of the audience.
Brian May
The guitar has a kind of grit and excitement possessed by nothing else.
Brian May
You got blood on your face, you big disgrace, waving your banner all over the place.
Brian May
Everybody thought I was a bit of an eccentric for wanting to be out there looking at the stars, but I still do
Brian May
I tend to be not a person who does everything right all the time.
Brian May
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.
Brian May
I had this idea... I wanted the sound to sing and have that thickness but yet still have an edge so that it could articulate. So my dad and I designed the guitar... the one that was made from an old fireplace.
Brian May
Astronomy's much more fun when you're not an astronomer
Brian May
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.
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.
Brian May
Einstein got most of the things right about black holes. I'm not an expert, I must admit
Brian May
We do play to our audience. It's very important. You can't create music in a vacuum.
Brian May
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.
Brian May
