Freddie Mercury Quotes

What will I be doing in twenty years’ time? I’ll be dead, darling! Are you crazy? Picture Quote #1

Back in the old days, we were often compared to Led Zeppelin. If we did something with harmony, it was the Beach Hoys. Something heavy was Led Zeppelin Picture Quote #1

I always knew I was a star And now, the rest of the world seems to agree with me Picture Quote #1

I got my diploma from Ealing College of Art, in graphics and illustration Picture Quote #1

I guess I’ve always lived the glamorous life of a star. It ‘s nothing new - I used to spend down to the last dime Picture Quote #1

I was never too keen on the British music press. They’ve called us a supermarket hype, and they used to suggest that we didn’t write our own songs Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Years ago, I thought up the name Queen. It’s just a name. But it’s regal, obviously, and -sounds splendid Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I’m a huge Freddie Mercury fan. I think he was the end-all. I love his lack of inhibition, his talent, the chances he took. He made mistakes on his records, and he didn’t care Picture Quote #1

You’re headed for disaster cos you never read the signs Too much love will kill you every time Picture Quote #1

My songs are like Bic razors. For fun, for modern consumption. You listen to it, like it, discard it, then on to the next. Disposable pop Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

The only people playing the roles of classic rock stars are hip-hop artists, now. Kanye’s stage persona, and the way he approaches making albums, and the way he wants to be better than everyone else? That’s reminiscent of Freddie Mercury. That’s reminiscent of the Beatles Picture Quote #1

Given that I can’t sing like Freddie Mercury, obviously I’m not going to pursue it as a career. What would be the point? Picture Quote #1

Well, Freddie Mercury is a really huge rock star in my head. I’ve always thought he was just so tough and such an amazing entertainer, really a contradiction in many ways as well. So he was incredible Picture Quote #1

If I hadn’t had Freddie Mercury’s lyrics to hold on to as a kid I don’t know where I would be. It taught me about all forms of music... it would open my mind. I never really had a bigger teacher in my whole life Picture Quote #1

I’d never compare myself to Freddie Mercury because I look up to him far too much. As an artist, not necessarily as a person Picture Quote #1

I’m a Freddie Mercury fan. (In response to an interviewer backstage at a Queen concert at the LA Forum, who asked: Can I tell my viewers that Michael Jackson is a Queen fan? Picture Quote #1

My favourite song is Someone To Love. That is more like me than the other stuff, as it was the only one I was actually able to create from the bottom up. I call it an homage, not a remake. It is an homage to Freddie Mercury, because I don’t think people can really remake Freddie Mercury. That’s why we did a gospel version Picture Quote #1

I adored Freddie Mercury and Queen had a hit called Radio Gaga. That’s why I love the name. Freddie was unique - one of the biggest personalities in the whole of pop music. He was not only a singer but also a fantastic performer, a man of the theatre and someone who constantly transformed himself. In short: a genius Picture Quote #1

There are some singers that have great technique and then there are those that have a certain quality or style in their voice. Some have both, like Freddie Mercury, but to me, I prefer style over technique Picture Quote #1

My songwriting is so influenced by orchestrated music, dramatic, super glam rock-y stuff. Two of my biggest influences in songwriting were Elton John and Freddie Mercury Picture Quote #1

My style has been nurtured over time. It’s more about knowing what doesn’t suit you. I love suits and anything sharp, and I know that shape suits me. I don’t feel feminine in floaty dresses with spaghetti straps - I feel more like Freddie Mercury in drag Picture Quote #1

I’m not afraid to speak out, and say things that I want to do, or do the things that I want to do, so um, I think in the end, being natural, and being, being actually genuine is what wins Picture Quote #1

I was never too keen on the British music press. They’ve called us a supermarket hype, and they used to suggest that we didn’t write our own songs Picture Quote #1

The others don’t like my interviews. And frankly, I don’t care much for theirs Picture Quote #1
