More quotes by Freddie Mercury
The bigger the better in everything.
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 the whole point of Queen was to be original.
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.
Freddie Mercury
I got my diploma from Ealing College of Art, in graphics and illustration.
Freddie Mercury
A concert is not a live rendition of our album. It's a theatrical event.
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
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
Can you imagine how terrible it is when you've got everything and you're still desperately lonely? That is awful beyond words.
Freddie Mercury
What will I be doing in twenty years' time? I'll be dead, darling! Are you crazy?
Freddie Mercury
I want to lead the Victorian life, surrounded by exquisite clutter.
Freddie Mercury
You know, I designed the Queen crest. I simply combined all the creatures that represent our star signs-and I don't even believe in astrology.
Freddie Mercury
When I'm dead, I want to be remembered as a musician of some worth and substance.
Freddie Mercury
Who wants to live forever?
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
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
I don't like the way my teeth protrude. I'm going to have them done, but I just haven't had the time. Apart from that... I'm perfect.
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
I won't be a rock star. I will be a legend.
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
