Freddie Mercury's greatest, funniest and cheekiest quotes
The legendary Queen frontman certainly had a way with words: here are his best quotes.
-
1. On his dress sense
"I dress to kill, but tastefully."
-
2. On stardom
"I always knew I was a star. And now, the rest of the world seems to agree with me."
-
3. On interviews
"The others don't like my interviews. And frankly, I don't care much for theirs."
-
4. On emotions
"I'm very emotional; I think I may go mad in several years' time."
-
5. On success
"The reason we're successful, darling? My overall charisma, of course."
-
6. On money
"Money may not buy happiness, but it can damn well give it!"
-
7. On the name Queen
"Years ago, I thought up the name Queen. It's just a name. But it's regal, obviously, and sounds splendid."
-
8. On the British press
"I was never too keen on the British music press. They've called us a supermarket hype, and they used to suggest that we didn't write our own songs."
-
9. On budgets
"We have no such thing as a budget anymore. Our manager freaks when we show him the bill. We're lavish to the bone, but all our money goes back into the product."
-
10. On the future
"What will I be doing in twenty years' time? I'll be dead, darling! Are you crazy?"
