Back then people closed their eyes and listened to music. Today there's a lot of images that go with the music. A lot of music is crap and it's all commercial and the images are all trying to sell the record.

It's silly when girls sell their souls because it's in.

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.

There's no 'dumb-ass' vaccine.

At 57, to have a No. 1 album, I wasn't expecting it.

My only contact with the outside world was an RCA Victrola, and Elvis would sing, and then I'd dream about expensive cars.
