More quotes by Brian May
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
My big hobby is photography. I collect stereo photographs from the 19th century.
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
There are times when I've been feeling something and played a solo that I've never been able to repeat.
Brian May
I never took sheet music seriously. I could do better myself just by listening to other people and using my own intuition.
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
A good video can make all the difference
Brian May
I don't surf the net in general. I have someone do it for me instead, because I find it sluggish.
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'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 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
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
The guitar has a kind of grit and excitement possessed by nothing else.
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
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'm not a person for sitting on beaches. What would I do?
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
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
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
Queen songs tend to be about very personal things: personal dreams and personal ambitions.
Brian May
