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

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide, No escape from reality. Open your eyes, Look up to the skies and see, I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy, Because I'm easy come, easy go, Little high, little low, Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me.
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

When I'm dead, I want to be remembered as a musician of some worth and substance.

I like people to go away from a Queen show feeling fully entertained, having had a good time.
Freddie Mercury

If I didn't do this well, I just wouldn't have anything to do... I can't cook, and I'd be a terrible housewife.
Freddie Mercury
Image
I never thought of myself as the leader. The most important person, perhaps.
Freddie Mercury
Image
I never carry money, just like the real Queen. If I fancy something in a shop I always ask someone on our staff to buy it.
Freddie Mercury

If we're weird onstage, I don't know what you'd call the Tubes.

Is Billy Idol just doing a bad Elvis pout, or was he born that way?
Freddie Mercury

We're a bit flashy, but the music's not one big noise.
Freddie Mercury

I love the fact that I can make people happy, in any form. Even if it’s just an hour of their lives, if I can make them feel lucky or make them feel good, or bring a smile to a sour face, that to me is worthwhile.
