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
I want it all and I want it now.
Freddie Mercury
We're a very expensive group we break a lot of rules. It's unheard of to combine opera with a rock theme, my dear .
Freddie Mercury
Modern paintings are like women, you'll never enjoy them if you try to understand them.
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
One year of love is better than a lifetime alone.
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
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
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
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
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
Gay as a daffodil.
Freddie Mercury
What will I be doing in twenty years' time? I'll be dead, darling! Are you crazy?
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
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
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 think Queen songs are pure escapism, like going to see a good film.
Freddie Mercury
I like people to go away from a Queen show feeling fully entertained, having had a good time.
Freddie Mercury
When I'm dead, I want to be remembered as a musician of some worth and substance.
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
