More quotes by Brian May
We do play to our audience. It's very important. You can't create music in a vacuum.
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.
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
The guitar was my weapon, my shield to hide behind.
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
The guitar has a kind of grit and excitement possessed by nothing else.
Brian May

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
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
I've always lived in that guitar world. I have noticed kids being more into the real essence of guitar music now.
Brian May
Each gig should be unique. You're always treading that line between keeping yourself fresh and giving people something they want to hear
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
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
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 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
