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.”
