More quotes by Freddie Mercury
By the way, I do not wear a hose. My hose is my own. No coke bottle, nothing stuffed down there.
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
Is Billy Idol just doing a bad Elvis pout, or was he born that way?
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
The bigger the better in everything.
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
The most important thing is to live a fabulous life. As long as it's fabulous I don't care how long it is.
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
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
And, we have no such thing as a budget anymore. Our manager freaks when we show him the bill. We're lavish to the bone, but all our money goes back into the product.
Freddie Mercury
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
I am a romantic, but I do put up a barrier around myself, so it is hard for people to get in and to know the real me
Freddie Mercury
I never thought of myself as the leader. The most important person, perhaps.
Freddie Mercury
I want to lead the Victorian life, surrounded by exquisite clutter.
Freddie Mercury
I want to ride my bicycle bicycle bicycle I want to ride my bicycle I want to ride my bike I want to ride my bicycle I want to ride it where I like... I don't believe in Peter Pan, Frankenstein or Superman All I wanna do is bicycle, bicycle, bicycle...
Freddie Mercury
The lavish presentation appeals to me, and I've got to convince the others.
