One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.

We're constantly being bombarded by insulting and humiliating music, which people are making for you the way they make those Wonder Bread products.

I think Queen songs are pure escapism, like going to see a good film - after that, they can go away and say that was great, and go back to their problems. I don't want to change the world with our music. There are no hidden messages in our songs, except for some of Brian's.
