Freddie Mercury

“I won't be a rock star. I will be a legend.”

“The most important thing is to live a fabulous life. As long as it's fabulous I don't care how long it is.”

“You can be anything you want to be, just turn yourself into anything you think that you could ever be.”

“Dullness is a disease.”

“I always knew I was a star. And now, the rest of the world seems to agree with me.”

“Money can't buy happiness, but it can give you a damn good substitute.”

“I'm just a musical prostitute, my dear.”

“When I'm dead, I want to be remembered as a musician of some worth and substance.”

“I'm so powerful on stage that I seem to have created a monster. When I'm performing I'm an extrovert, yet inside I'm a completely different man.”

“The reason we're successful, darling? My overall charisma, of course.”

“I dress to kill, but tastefully.”

“If I die tomorrow I will not regret. I have really done it all.”

“Oh, 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!”

“A concert is not a live rendition of our album. It's a theatrical event.”

“We're a very expensive group; we break a lot of rules. It's unheard of to combine opera with rock 'n' roll, and we did it.”

“Excess is part of my nature. Dullness is a disease. I really need danger and excitement.”

“I love the fact that I can make people happy, in any form.”

“What will I be doing in twenty years' time? I'll be dead, darling! Are you crazy?”

“The show must go on.”

“I'm a performer. That's what I do. That's my trade.”
