“There are very few things in my life that I can’t have if I want them. So when I see something that I can’t have, immediately I’m obsessed by it.”

I don’t want to look at other people my age in leather. Why would I put it on?

Freedom. I will not give you up.

I had my very first relationship at 27 because I really had not actually come to terms with my sexuality until I was 24.

There is no such thing as a reluctant star.

I couldn’t change anything without changing the end position, and I’m perfectly happy now. So whatever I feel in some sense may have been a mistake in the past is, in another sense, not a mistake, because it’s left me here.

I have never felt any ethnic connection between the Greeks and me other than how hairy I am.

Sex is natural, sex is good/Not everybody does it, but everybody should.

I can’t believe that I’ve written my best work yet. If I believed that, then I wouldn’t bother releasing music anymore.

It’s the ones who resist that we most want to kiss, wouldn’t you say?

I am really not interested or excited by repeating former successes.

Playing with Queen was the biggest moment of my career. It was like living a childhood fantasy.

If someone really wants to hurt you, they’ll find a way whatever. I don’t want to live my life worrying about it.

Without despair, we will share, and the joys of caring will not be erased. What has been, must never end, the joys of caring will not be replace.

My music is some of the most honest music that’s been released and I think that’s why people buy it.

I went through a long period where I was afraid of doing things I wanted to do, and you get your courage back, which is what’s important.

I have to believe that somebody up there thinks I’ve still got some work to do.

My life is rich because I have those kinds of people in my life.

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.

You are so sure of what people will think because you’ve thought the same for someone else at some point in your life.

I have a really beautiful life right now, so there is no reason to be hostile. I’m a husband, a father and a man who tries to do the right thing in life and in my work.

Destroy or be destroyed! I just love that way of life!

I don’t know why people expect art to make sense. They accept the fact that life doesn’t make sense.

I’m addicted to perfection. Problem with my life is I was always also addicted to chaos. Perfect chaos.

I don’t care what people think about me. Never did, never will. Life is too short to be worrying about that shit.
