A good video can make all the difference

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.

There's nothing I'm embarrassed about

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

From the beginning of Queen there was such momentum that I never had any time to do anything else. My energy was 95% focused on the band

My children hate me being such a big star. It's very hard for them to have a father who is always in the public eye.

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.

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

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.

You got blood on your face, you big disgrace, waving your banner all over the place.

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.

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

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.

On the first few albums the songs would grow into strange shapes.

Queen songs tend to be about very personal things: personal dreams and personal ambitions.

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

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.

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.
