A lot of my songs are fantasy. I can dream up all kinds of things. That’s the kind of world I live in. It’s very sort of flamboyant, and that’s the kind of way I write. I love it.
FREDDIE MERCURYA lot of my songs are fantasy. I can dream up all kinds of things. That’s the kind of world I live in. It’s very sort of flamboyant, and that’s the kind of way I write. I love it.
FREDDIE MERCURYBut touch my tears, with your lips. Touch my world, with your fingertips. And we can have forever. And we can love forever. Forever is our today.
FREDDIE MERCURYI guess I’ve always lived the glamorous life of a star. It’s nothing new – I used to spend down to the last dime.
FREDDIE MERCURYIt’s a beautiful day, the sun is shining, I feel good, and no one’s going to stop me now.
FREDDIE MERCURYI do not have love does not mean I don’t have anybody.
FREDDIE MERCURYWe’re a very expensive group; we break a lot of rules. It’s unheard of to combine opera with a rock theme, my dear.
FREDDIE MERCURYThe others don’t like my interviews. And frankly, I don’t care much for theirs.
FREDDIE MERCURYOh, I was not made for heaven. No, I don’t want to go to heaven. Hell is much better. Think of all the interesting people you’re going to meet down there.
FREDDIE MERCURYI love the fact that I can make people happy, in any form. Even if it’s just an hour of their lives, if I can make them feel lucky or make them feel good, or bring a smile to a sour face, that to me is worthwhile.
FREDDIE MERCURYWhat will I be doing in twenty years’ time? I’ll be dead, darling! Are you crazy?
FREDDIE MERCURYYou can have everything in the world and still be the loneliest man. And that is the most bitter type of loneliness, success has brought me world idolization and millions of pounds. But it’s prevented me from having the one thing we all need: A loving, ongoing relationship.
FREDDIE MERCURYIn terms of love, you’re not in control and I hate that feeling. I seem to write a lot of sad songs because I’m a very tragic person. But there’s always an element of humor at the end.
FREDDIE MERCURYLove of my life, you’ve hurt me. You’ve broken my heart, and now you leave me. Love of my life, can’t you see? Bring it back, bring it back, and don’t take it away from me, because you don’t know what it means to me.
FREDDIE MERCURYI have fun with my clothes onstage; it’s not a concert you’re seeing, it’s a fashion show.
FREDDIE MERCURYWhen we began, we approached it the way we did because we were not prepared to be out-of-work musicians, ever. We said either take it on as a serious commodity or don’t do it at all.
FREDDIE MERCURYIn the early days, we just wore black onstage. Very bold, my dear. Then we introduced white, for variety, and it simply grew and grew.
