It destroys the soul to hear that you're all hype, that you have no talent, and that your whole career has been contrived.

More quotes by Freddie Mercury
We're a bit flashy, but the music's not one big noise.
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
One year of love is better than a lifetime alone.
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
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
They wouldn't let us into Russia. They thought we'd corrupt the youth or something.
Freddie Mercury
I'm a very emotional person, a person of real extremes, and that's often destructive both to myself and others.
Freddie Mercury
I like people to go away from a Queen show feeling fully entertained, having had a good time.
Freddie Mercury
If i had to do it all over again? Why not, I would do it a little bit differently.
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
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
I never thought of myself as the leader. The most important person, perhaps.
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 want it all and I want it now.
Freddie Mercury
If we're weird onstage, I don't know what you'd call the Tubes.
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 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
By the way, I do not wear a hose. My hose is my own. No coke bottle, nothing stuffed down there.
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
