Does anyone remember laughter?
If I didn’t do what I do, I wouldn’t be as young as I am.
Entertainment isn’t just based on the very structured syndrome of European popular music, and it’s great that there are so many thousands of people who are of the same opinion.
You can’t even imagine how it felt to have a cassette that you could take with you with a microphone so you could put down an idea and not have to hum it a million times to remember what it was.
I don’t want to be stuck in the ’70s or the ’80s. I just keep moving. That’s my intention. That’s my stimulus. Otherwise, I’d be at home doing the garden.
There’s so many parts of your life, you know? People say that you don’t get any better after the age of about forty or something like that, as a performer. I find all that to be a misconception. I don’t feel bad about the way I present stuff. The calendar and the mirror – they’re bastards.
I still like to get carried away – but passively.
What turning forty means to me- I need to take my pants off as soon as I get home. I didn’t used to have to do that, but now I do.
The first time I saw Led Zeppelin, Bonzo (John Bonham) just walked on the stage and just warmed up for about 10 seconds. Freddie (Freddie Mercury) and I nearly fell over we just couldn’t believe the power and the sound.

You’re better off being a brick layer if you’re going to play guitar than a sheet metal worker.
Whatever the occasion, [the Queen] has a face which demonstrably says ‘I don’t give a royal s**t.’
I’m a flamboyant type of guy, a cooler version of Liberace.
While Bette Midler is an extremely unattractive woman, I refuse to say that because I always insist on being politically correct.
You have to let people see what you wrote. It will never be perfect, but perfect is overrated. Perfect is boring.
I’ll be a nun, raise my daughter, and make albums.
See, the problem is that God gives men a brain and a penis, and only enough blood to run one at a time.
There were the Pussycat Dolls, and there’s a band called Perfect Pussy, but they’re white, so they get the pass. I can’t be Junglepussy and black, but I just push through, especially when my mother says she doesn’t have a problem with it.
If Kyle had ever been dedicated to nothing but driving, he’d have been really, really good. But he wanted to do a lot of other things. He’s always been that way. Still is.
