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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

The biggest emotion in creation is the bridge to optimism.

What we were trying to do differently was this sort of layered sound.

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.

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 don't surf the net in general. I have someone do it for me instead, because I find it sluggish.

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