Freddie Mercury Queens Quotations

When the whole point of Queen was to be original.

Years ago, I thought up the name Queen. It's just a name. But it's regal, obviously, and -sounds splendid.

We've gone overboard on every Queen album. But that's Queen.

Years ago, I thought up the name Queen...It's just a name, but it's very regal obviously, and it sounds splendid...It's a strong name, very universal and immediate. It had a lot of visual potential and was open to all sorts of interpretations. I was certainly aware of the gay connotations, but that was just one facet of it.

I think Queen songs are pure escapism, like going to see a good film.

I like people to go away from a Queen show feeling fully entertained, having had a good time.

I'm a Freddie Mercury fan. (In response to an interviewer backstage at a Queen concert at the LA Forum, who asked: Can I tell my viewers that Michael Jackson is a Queen fan?

I never carry money, just like the real Queen. If I fancy something in a shop I always ask someone on our staff to buy it.

The concept of Queen is to be regal and majestic. Glamour is part of us, and we want to be dandy.
