The biggest emotion in creation is the bridge to optimism.
The guitar was my weapon, my shield to hide behind.
Astronomy's much more fun when you're not an astronomer.
Sanctions always hurt the poor, the weak, the children.
I don't think anybody comes close to The Beatles, including Oasis.
The guitar has a kind of grit and excitement possessed by nothing else.
Every time I listen to Jeff Beck my whole view of guitar changes radically. He's way, way out, doing things you never expect.
I despise the Lottery. There's less chance of you becoming a millionaire than there is of getting hit on the head by a passing asteroid.
Everybody thought I was a bit of an eccentric for wanting to be out there looking at the stars, but I still do.
I don't surf the net in general. I have someone do it for me instead, because I find it sluggish.
The Wedding March has a bit of a death march in it.
It's wonderful for me to see what 'We Will Rock You' has done. 'We Will Rock You' and 'We Are the Champions' have kind of transcended the normal framework of where music is listened to and appreciated - they've become part of public life, which I feel wonderful about.
Each gig should be unique. You're always treading that line between keeping yourself fresh and giving people something they want to hear.

There's nothing I'm embarrassed about.
There are times when I flick through magazines and think I'm in danger of becoming a prisoner of my own hair.
I never took sheet music seriously. I could do better myself just by listening to other people and using my own intuition.
I think music is about our internal life. It's part of the way people touch each other. That's very precious to me. And astronomy is, in a sense, the very opposite thing. Instead of looking inwards, you are looking out, to things beyond our grasp.
I had this big thing about guitar harmonies. I wanted to be the first to put proper three-part harmonies onto a record. That was an achievement.
