From the Band

“…happiness comes in little packets, and as you go through life, you’re always trying to get as many little packets as you can, and with every packet you get, there’s always a downside…”-Roger Taylor 1994 on “happiness” (a summarization of the actual quote)

“I think it’s a funny word really…”-Brian May 1977 on the word “riff”

“Brighton Rock is an old song, it was actually going to be on Queen I, but it didn’t fit the format, and then on Queen II, but it still didn’t fit, so it ended up on Sheer Heart Attack”-Brian May 1977 on how Queen decides on how to put songs on albums

“ …he never told me then…if he’s such the fucking expert…”-Roger Taylor 1994 responding during an interview (jokingly J)when the interviewer brings up the fact that Brian thought The Cross was a mistake

“Well you see that’s professionalism…”-Freddie Mercury 1977 responding to a confrontation by an interviewer saying that Queen’s performances look too rehearsed because the minute Freddie jumps up from the piano there’s a hand holding a microphone waiting for him
