Freddie Mercury quotes - page 3

The others don't like my interviews. And frankly, I don't care much for theirs. (Freddie Mercury)
A concert is not a live rendition of our album. It's a theatrica! event.
Freddie Mercury
Years ago, I thought up the name Queen. It's just a name. But it's regal, obviously, and -sounds splendid.
Freddie Mercury
It destroys the soul to hear that you're all hype, that you have no talent, and that your whole career has been contrived.
Freddie Mercury
We were disliked by the press in the early days because they couldn't put their finger on us, and that was the case with Zeppelin as well.
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
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
We've gone overboard on every Queen album. But that's Queen.
Freddie Mercury
Listen, if you guys wanna move around and shift your asses a little, it's okay. It's okay by us, right? You can take all your clothes off if you like too, doesn't matter... Fuck off! [laughs].
Freddie Mercury
We believe in each other, that's enough for me.
Freddie Mercury
Jimi Hendrix is very important. He's my idol. (Freddie Mercury)
Our love affair ended in tears but a deep bond grew out of it, and that's something nobody can take away from us. It's unreachable.
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. I fall in love much too quickly and that results in me getting badly hurt. The problem with love is that you lose control and that is a very vulnerable state to be in. I would love to really have a beautiful relationship with somebody, but it never seems to work out. What I would like most of all is to be in a state of blissful love.
Freddie Mercury
Rod Stewart, Eiton John and I were going to form a band called Hair, Nose and Teeth after the three of us. But it hasn't happened because none of us can agree on the order of the 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
Liza, in terms of sheer talent, just oozes with it.
Freddie Mercury
We're confident people will take to us, because although the camp image has already been established by people like Bowie and Bolan we are taking it to another level.
Freddie Mercury
We're gonna stay together until we die, I'm sure of it.
Freddie Mercury
I have fun with my clothes onstage; it's not a concert you're seeing, it's a fashion show.
Freddie Mercury
But, you know, we spent two years putting our act together.
Freddie Mercury
Liza, in terms of sheer talent, just oozes with it. She has sheer energy and stamina, which she gets across the stage, and the way she delivers herself to the public is a good influence. There is a lot to learn from her. (Freddie Mercury)
I would have loved to have been on the Band Aid record but I only heard about it when I was in Germany. I don't know if they would have had me on the record anyway, because I'm a bit old. I'm just an old slag who gets up every morning, scratches his head and wonders what he wants to fuck.
