More quotes by Freddie Mercury
Led Zeppelin is the greatest. Robert Plant is one of the most original vocalists of our time. As a rock band they deserve the kind of success they're getting.
Freddie Mercury
If it's planned, it's boring
Freddie Mercury
I think Queen songs are pure escapism, like going to see a good film.
Freddie Mercury
What you must understand is that my voice comes from the energy of the audience. The better they are, the better I get.
Freddie Mercury
Does it mean this, does it mean that, that's all anybody wants to know. I'd say what any decent poet would say if anyone dared ask him to analyze his work: if you see it, darling, then it's there!
Freddie Mercury
When I'm dead, I want to be remembered as a musician of some worth and substance.
Freddie Mercury
Is Billy Idol just doing a bad Elvis pout, or was he born that way?
Freddie Mercury
I was born to love you with every single beat of my heart. I was born to take care of you every single day of my life.
Freddie Mercury
I want to lead the Victorian life, surrounded by exquisite clutter.
Freddie Mercury
About ten years ago, I knew three chords on the guitar. Now, in 1982, I know three chords on the guitar.
Freddie Mercury
Excess is part of my nature. Dullness is a disease. I really need danger and excitement. I'm never scared of putting myself out on a limb.
Freddie Mercury
The others don't like my interviews. And frankly, I don't care much for theirs.
Freddie Mercury
In terms of love, you're not in control and I hate that feeling. I seem to write a lot of sad songs because I'm a very tragic person. But there's always an element of humour at the end.
Freddie Mercury
Who wants to live forever?
Freddie Mercury
I'm possessed by love - but isn't everybody?
Freddie Mercury
Jimi Hendrix is very important. He's my idol. He sort of epitomizes, from his presentation on stage, the whole works of a rock star. There's no way you can compare him. You either have the magic or you don't. There's no way you can work up to it. There's nobody who can take his place.
Freddie Mercury
We're a bit flashy, but the music's not one big noise.
Freddie Mercury
One night Roger was in a foul mood and he threw his entire bloody drumset across the stage. The thing only just missed me - I might have been killed.
Freddie Mercury
I don't talk to everybody, so they don't really know the real me. I don't think anybody will.
Freddie Mercury
Modern paintings are like women, you'll never enjoy them if you try to understand them.
Freddie Mercury
