“I like feeling a sense of unity with the crowd even though everybody might be thinking something different.”

I feel I have a responsibility to myself, a responsibility to explain where we’re coming from. Because a song or the performance of a song is a lot like a work of art.

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.

I like to be real private; you don’t always want everyone around you – even when they like you.

If love is blind I guess I’ll buy myself a cane.

Let sleeping dogs lie or lying dogs sleep or whatever. Time to move on. People get divorced. Life doesn’t owe you your own personal happy ending especially at another’s, or in this case several others’, expense.

I don’t even know my own phone number.

Life sucks, but in a beautiful kind of way.

Regarding social media, I really dont understand what appears to be the general populations lack of concern over privacy issues in publicizing their entire lives on the Internet for others to see to such an extent… but hey its them, not me, so whatever.

People can do whatever they want to, but I’m more pro-hetero. I’m not knocking it – I have friends that are gay. It’s just that it’s not my cup of tea, l guess. That’s all. People can do what they want.

Fear is where there is no love. Love is where there is no fear.

At times I enjoy writing and at others times I just hate it because it’s definitely having to go back and experience some pain and express what you really feel.

It’s really hard to maintain a one-on-one relationship if the other person is not going to allow me to be with other people.

Be bitter, stay angry, and blame everyone!

November Rain is a song about not wanting to be in a state of having to deal with unrequited love.

Sometimes your friends are your lovers, or have been at one time.

I’m late to everything. I’ve always wanted to have it written in my will that when I die, the coffin shows up a half hour late and says on the side, like in gold, ‘Sorry I’m Late’.

To lead an orchestra, you must turn your back on the crowd.

Nature reaches out to us with welcoming arms, and bids us enjoy her beauty; but we dread her silence and rush into the crowded cities, there to huddle like sheep fleeing from a ferocious wolf.

Set fire to the mic and ignite the crowd.

Only the self-sufficient stand alone – most people follow the crowd and imitate.

Don’t join an easy crowd; you won’t grow.

In every crowd are certain persons who seem just like the rest, yet they bear amazing messages.

The woman who follows the crowd will usually go no further than the crowd. The woman who walks alone is likely to find herself in places no one has ever been before.

It is easy in the world to live after the world’s opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.
