I 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.

Omg, I just came across this article and… Freddie Mercury’s quotes are simply glorious.
- “Dullness is a disease.”
- “I always knew I was a star… and now, the rest of the world seems to agree with me.”
- “The reason we’re successful, darling? My overall charisma, of course.”
- “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.”
- “[Describing fans’ interpretations of his lyrics] if you see it there, darling, then it’s there.”
- “A concert is not a live rendition of our album. It’s a theatrical event.”
- “The concept of Queen is to be regal and majestic. Glamour is part of us, and we want to be dandy.”
- “It’s not a concert you’re seeing. It’s a fashion show.”
- “I dress to kill… but tastefully.”
- “I guess I’ve always lived the glamorous life of a star. It ‘s nothing new – I used to spend down to the last dime.”
- “Money can not buy happiness, but it can damn well give it!”
- “I never thought of myself as the leader. The most important person, perhaps.”
- “I don’t like the way my teeth protrude. I’m going to have them done, but I just haven’t had the time. Apart from that… I’m perfect.”
- “Rod Stewart, Elton John and I were going to start a band called Hair, Nose and Teeth… but it hasn’t happened because none of us can agree on the order of the words.”
- “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”
- “I’m possessed by love – but isn’t everybody?”
- “The most important thing is to live a fabulous life. As long as it’s fabulous I don’t care how long it is.”
I love this man.
