Freddie Mercury: A Life, In His Own Words

by Freddie Mercury

Hope for the best, and head for the top. That’s the only way to approach it.

Talent is not just writing good songs and performing them, it’s having a business brain, because that’s a major part of it – to get the music across properly and profit from it.

Maybe I just draw the wrong kind of people to me?

I’m a man of extremes and that can be very destructive. I can be very over-emotional, and that can be a destructive trait in me too.

The more you’ve been let down, the more hurt you endure.

I’m a Virgo.

Boredom and dullness are the biggest diseases in the whole world.

You cannot remain constant; you must change all the time.

very true

The most important thing, darlings, is to live a fabulous life. As long as it’s fabulous, I don’t care how long it is.

Some people can take second best, but I can’t. I look upon it as a defeat.

People should be careful, but not get paranoid.
