More quotes by 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
We do play to our audience. It's very important. You can't create music in a vacuum.
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 tend to be not a person who does everything right all the time.
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

Brian May
The biggest emotion in creation is the bridge to optimism.
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
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

Brian May
I'm not a person for sitting on beaches. What would I do?
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

Brian May
A good video can make all the difference
Brian May
I think Queen tribute bands are great. However, we have to keep them at arm's length, otherwise it could be too dangerous.
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
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
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
Not for a million - years. I mean, I like the INXS boys, but I found the process very degrading, really. Reality television has eaten away at our standards of excellence. I don't like this whole culture, which has evolved, of TV being the king.
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
