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.

More quotes by Brian May
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 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
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
The guitar has a kind of grit and excitement possessed by nothing else.
Brian May
Queen songs tend to be about very personal things: personal dreams and personal ambitions.
Brian May
For a time I didn't want to answer any questions about Queen. I'd like to be viewed as something alive and relevant, not some fossil.
Brian May
You got blood on your face, you big disgrace, waving your banner all over the place.
Brian May
The biggest emotion in creation is the bridge to optimism.
Brian May
Amazing uke playing to be relished.
Brian May
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.
Brian May
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.
Brian May
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.
Brian May
A good video can make all the difference
Brian May
I tend not to write on guitar very often. I tend to start off with keyboards.
Brian May
My big hobby is photography. I collect stereo photographs from the 19th century.
Brian May
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
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
I think Queen tribute bands are great. However, we have to keep them at arm's length, otherwise it could be too dangerous.
Brian May
Sanctions always hurt the poor, the weak, the children.
Brian May
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.
Brian May
