More quotes by 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
Doing Made In Heaven was like assembling a jigsaw puzzle, but I wouldn't have put my seal of approval on it if I hadn't thought it was up to standard.
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
The guitar has a kind of grit and excitement possessed by nothing else.
Brian May
I'm not a person for sitting on beaches. What would I do?
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
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
There are a lot of things in Queen albums that you don't expect that's why we threw them in
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
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
Einstein got most of the things right about black holes. I'm not an expert, I must admit
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
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 tend to be not a person who does everything right all the time.
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
I tend not to write on guitar very often. I tend to start off with keyboards.
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
There's nothing I'm embarrassed about
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.

Astronomy's much more fun when you're not an astronomer
