More quotes by Brian May
Everybody thought I was a bit of an eccentric for wanting to be out there looking at the stars, but I still do
Brian May
My mum says I wanted to be a surgeon, but I don't remember that. I think from the time I knew what was happening, I wanted to be a guitar player.
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'd put a lot of work into playing guitar and was thinking I was pretty damn good. But Hendrix came along and destroyed everyone.
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've always lived in that guitar world. I have noticed kids being more into the real essence of guitar music now.
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
The biggest emotion in creation is the bridge to optimism.

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
What we were trying to do differently was this sort of layered sound.
Brian May
The potential audience seems to be dwindling in the states. I was kind of embarrassed for the band because of the size of the audience.
Brian May
My big hobby is photography. I collect stereo photographs from the 19th century.
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
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
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
We do play to our audience. It's very important. You can't create music in a vacuum.
Brian May
Amazing uke playing to be relished.
Brian May
The guitar has a kind of grit and excitement possessed by nothing else.
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
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
