More quotes by Brian May
When I'm gone, people will no doubt remember me for Queen, but I would much rather be remembered for attempting to change the way we treat our fellow creatures.
Brian May
You want to go in the steam bath to get your vocals sounding well, but you don't want your fingers to get soft.
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
I tend to be not a person who does everything right all the time.
Brian May
I like to go for a walk or swimming or in the garden when I can. It's a busy kind of life, but I guess I'm lucky.

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
There are times when I've been feeling something and played a solo that I've never been able to repeat.
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
You got blood on your face, you big disgrace, waving your banner all over the place.
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.
Brian May
The guitar was my weapon, my shield to hide behind.
Brian May
There's nothing I'm embarrassed about
Brian May
What we were trying to do differently was this sort of layered sound.
Brian May
