More quotes by Brian May
There are times when I flick through magazines and think I'm in danger of becoming a prisoner of my own hair.
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
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.
Brian May
Astronomy's much more fun when you're not an astronomer
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
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
There's nothing I'm embarrassed about
Brian May
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.
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 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
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
I tend not to write on guitar very often. I tend to start off with keyboards.
Brian May
Queen songs tend to be about very personal things: personal dreams and personal ambitions.
Brian May
The guitar was my weapon, my shield to hide behind.
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
I'm not a person for sitting on beaches. What would I do?
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
Sanctions always hurt the poor, the weak, the children.
Brian May
I think a lot of people would be better off in America, where at least you would find some radio station somewhere that would play you.
Brian May
