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

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
Image
Sanctions always hurt the poor, the weak, the children.
Brian May
Image
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
Image
There are times when I've been feeling something and played a solo that I've never been able to repeat.
Brian May
Image
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
Image
I tend to be not a person who does everything right all the time.
Brian May
Image
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
Image
What is left of your dream? Just the words on your stone. A man who learned how to teach then forgot how to learn.

On the first few albums the songs would grow into strange shapes.
