There will never be another Freddie Mercury, one of the greatest rock and roll singers.
Elvis Presley invited me to Las Vegas for one night but we got on so well that I stayed for three.
People make assumptions when you're not married. I've been best man at five weddings and I said I'd never do it again 'cos everyone got divorced.
We'd play the American bases and found all these wonderful records by Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Fats Domino, Sam Cooke. Without American music, there would not have been a British Invasion.
After two world tours where we played every state but Greenland, I only saw the inside of a hotel. I wouldn't have missed it for the world, but it did get tiring.
We couldn't get enough of American rock 'n' roll. We'd hear it when we played American air bases in the U.K.
Freddie Mercury said years later that he got the idea for 'We Will Rock You' from 'Bits and Pieces.' I never knew that.
I was at a party in Alexandra Palace tobogganing on the ski slope, got whiplashed at 40mph, put my hands out to balance myself, and three fingers got caught in the artificial snow. I broke four knuckles. I have not drummed since.
My big thrill in life is my Jaguar XKE.
I own a series called 'Ready, Steady, Go!' that I bought in the Seventies. I purposely didn't do anything with it, and wouldn't sell off any clips. My accountant went crazy when I said I wanted to wait until the 20-year cycle, then put it out so the new generation could experience it.
When you're touring, you only see the auditorium and the hotel room. You can't go out because you get mobbed. You're tired, edgy and under pressure. The fun had gone out of it, so we decided to walk away from it all.
I bought the rights to 'Ready, Steady, Go!' several years ago because I didn't want the segments to be chopped up and sold off. I thought the shows should be left intact.
You can't go on being a 19-year-old rock-and-roller all your life.
I always believed that the bubble could burst tomorrow. You're only as good as your last record.
Rick was a real gentleman. He was very kind and had an amazing sense of humour - he was the funny one in the group, and a very talented musician.
It was always the singer that was the front man, but Mike stood there and played piano and keyboards. He had a great voice and he was the Sixties' Rod Stewart, and he contributed a tremendous amount to the Dave Clark Five.
We've got an electric organ, a sax, drums, guitar and bass guitar. We sound less like the Beatles than most of the groups.
Ready, Steady, Go!' was the show of the '60s in London, where the Beatles, the Stones and the DC5, and every other major act started.
I date fairly often, but my work is much more important.
You hear many things, take a little from each experience, and tune your imagination to create believable characters and situations.
