I leave you with the best Freddie Mercury quotes, recognized as one of the best voices in musical history, he possessed a great range and vocal dominance, as well as marking a milestone in the history of music with Queen, due to his great versatility, creativity and eccentricity.
Freddie Mercury, of Parsi and Indian descent, was a British singer, pianist, songwriter and musician, best known for being the lead singer of the British band Queen. Its simple Bohemian Rhapsody, with the mixture of operatic and rock elements, it is just one example of what he was capable of creating. Queen and Mercury were never pigeonholed into a single musical genre and broke with the paradigms of the time.
-The concept of Queen is to be regal and majestic. Glamor is part of us and we want to be cool.
-We are flashy, but the music is not very loud.
-I'm gay as a daffodil dear!
-The show must go on.
-It's boring being 70, I don't want to get to that point. I'll already be dead and gone. I have no aspiration to reach 70.
-I'm hopeless if I don't have money; I just spend what I have.
-What if what am I going to be doing in twenty years? I'm going to be dead, dear! Are you crazy?
-You can have everything in the world and still be the loneliest man in the world. And that's the bitterest loneliness.
-I am very emotional. I think I'm going to go crazy in a few years.

-I like to be surrounded by splendid things.
-The more the merrier; in everything.
-We have excelled on each of Queen's albums. But that's how Queen is.
-I have fun with my wardrobe on stage; It is not a concert what you are seeing, it is a fashion show.
-I have never thought of myself as the leader, but perhaps as the most important person.
-If I die tomorrow I will not regret it. I really did everything that I could.
-I obtained my diploma in graphics and illustration from the Ealing Institute of the Arts.
-I don't like the way my teeth stick out. I'm going to fix them, I just haven't had the time. Putting that aside, I'm perfect.
-I designed the Queen's crest. I just combined all the creatures that represent our zodiac signs, and I don't even believe in astrology.
-One night Roger was in a bad mood and started throwing his whole damn drums across the stage. For little and it hits me, I could have died.
-I have ideas looking to emerge, and there are many musical territories that I have wanted to explore, and that I could not experience with Queen..
-I'm not afraid to speak up and say the things I want to say, or say the things I want to do. In the end, being natural, being genuine is what beats everything.
-It is no longer a question of money. I spend money like it's nothing. You know, tomorrow I might not have a penny, but I would come back, somehow.
-We are a musical group that is very expensive; we break a lot of the rules. Opera has never been seen to be combined with a rock song, dear.
-At the beginning we did things the way we did, because we were not prepared to be unemployed musicians. We decide to take it seriously or not at all.
-My soul has been colored like the wings of butterflies.
-What you have to understand is that my voice comes from the energy of the audience. The better they are, the better I am too.

-I like to be surrounded by splendid things.
-If I had to do it all over again? Why not, I would make it all a little different.
-I love the fact that we can make people happy, anyway..
-Oh, I wasn't made to go to heaven. No, I don't want to go to heaven. Hell is so much better. Think of all the cool people you would meet there!!
-On stage I am a devil, but I am not socially rejected.
-I dress to kill, but with style.
-My dear ones, the things I have done in this life! Definitely, if my life were a movie, it would be listed as triple X.
-The school was an atmosphere conducive to musicians. I got my diploma and thought I would give it a chance to become a freelance artist.
-The others don't like my interviews. And to be frank, I don't care much about theirs.

-I think my melodies are superior to my lyrics.

-When I'm dead, I want to be remembered as a musician of merit and substance..
-The problem with love is that you lose control and it is a very vulnerable state to be in. I would love to be in a relationship with someone, but it never seems to work.
-They didn't let us go to Russia. They thought we were gonna corrupt the youth or something.
-I guess I've always lived the glamorous life of a star. It's nothing new, I used to spend every last penny.
-Who would like to live forever?
-I never bring money with me, just like the real queen. If I want something in a store I ask someone from our staff to buy it.
-The more you open up, the more hurt you end up, so I'm practically scarred and don't care if they do it again..
-I'm not in the business world at all.
-I open up to her [Mary Austin], more than anyone. We have had many ups and downs in this time that we have been together, but this has made our relationship stronger..
-The most important thing is to live a fabulous life. As long as it's fabulous, no matter how long it is.

-You can be whatever you want to be, just transform into whatever you think you can become..
-I like people to leave a Queen show feeling completely satisfied and having a good time..
-One cannot have control in love and I hate that feeling. It seems that I write a lot of sad songs because I am very tragic, but I always add an element of humor at the end..
-I am a romantic, but I put a barrier around me so that it is difficult for people to get close to me and get to know me.
-The name Queen was a very wonderful name and it sounded splendid. It had a lot of power and was open to interpretation.
-I feel like Queen was actually fit for that era. It lent itself to many things like the theater. It was very pompous and with all kinds of connotations. It meant too many things.
-We don't have a budget today. Our manager freaks out when we show him the invoices. We are luxurious to the bone, but all that money is paid back on the product.
-If we can make people feel good or hopefully get a smile on their long faces, even for an hour of their lives, that's worth it to me..
-"We Are The Champions" is the most selfish and arrogant song I have ever written. I was thinking about football when I wrote it. I wanted a song where the masses participated.
-If I hadn't done this right, I would have nothing to do. I don't know how to cook, and I would be a terrible housewife.

-I will not be a rock star. I will be a legend.
-Money does not buy happiness, but very well it can give it to you!!
-Success has made the world idolize me, and it has given me millions of pounds, but it has prevented me from having one of the things we all need: a loving relationship..
-I am attracted to a luxurious presentation and I have to convince others.
-Jimi Hendrix is very important to me, he is my idol. He optimizes, from his presentation on stage, the work of a rock star. Has no comparison.
-I always knew I was a star, and now the rest of the world seems to agree with me.
-That video (I Want to Break Free), it impressed a lot of people because they didn't find it funny. We assume our roles easily. I think it's one of our best videos.
-I've always wanted to make a solo album. I wished it was the right time and place to work on the songs I wanted before I got old.
-I don't talk to everyone, so they don't really know the real me. I don't think anybody ever ever will.
-What do you want to interview me? Oh don't be ridiculous.
-I am possessed by love, but aren't we all?
-I am a very sensitive person, a really extreme person and that is generally destructive, both for myself and for others..
-I think Queen songs are pure escapism, like going to see a good movie.
-Rod Stewart, Elton John and I were going to form a band called Hair, Nose and Teeth. But it was never conceived because no one agrees on the order.
-Queen's original goal was to be original.
-Bohemian Rhapsody It sold over a million and a quarter copies in the UK alone, which is unbelievable. Imagine all the grannies shaking to the beat of this song.
-Eliminate the good and keep the bad. Don't believe everything you read in the Bible.
-What if I know the reason why we are successful, dear? For my charisma in general, of course.
-A concert is not a live tribute to our album. It's a theatrical event.
-I find it hard to read books, I think they are a waste of time.
-As for me, I've lived a full life, and if I die tomorrow, I don't give a damn. I have lived. And I've really done everything.
-Are they going to remember me when I'm dead? I don't think so, that depends on them. When I die, who cares? Not me.
-Led Zeppelin is the best of all. Robert Plant is one of the best original vocalists of our time. As a rock band, they deserve to have the success they are experiencing..
-In our early days, if we did something with harmony, we were like the Beach Hoys. And if we did something heavy we were like Led Zeppelin.
-Many of my songs are fantasy. I dream of all kinds of things. That is the world I live in. It's quite, in a way, outrageous, and that's the way I write. I love him.
-That if it means this or that, that's what people want to know. I'd say what any decent poet would say if someone asks you to analyze their work: if you can't see it, then there it is!!
-As far as (Live Aid Concert) is concerned, I'm doing it for pride. I really think it is a pride to be together with all these stars, and to be able to do something worthwhile.
-In our early days, we just wore black on stage. Very daring, dear. That's when we introduced white, for variety reasons, and it grew and grew.
-I feel so strong on stage that it seems I have created a monster. When I'm on stage I'm very outgoing, but inside I'm a completely different man.
