Freddie Mercury's greatest, funniest and

cheekiest quotes
The legendary Queen frontman certainly had a way with words: here are his best quotes.

1.

1. On his dress sense

"I dress to kill, but tastefully."
 2.

2. On stardom
"I always knew I was a star. And now, the rest of the world seems to agree with me."
 3.

3. On interviews
"The others don't like my interviews. And frankly, I don't care much for theirs."
 4.

4. On emotions
"I'm very emotional; I think I may go mad in several years' time."
 5.

5. On success
"The reason we're successful, darling? My overall charisma, of course."

6.
 7.

6. On money
"Money may not buy happiness, but it can damn well give it!"
 8.

7. On the name Queen

"Years ago, I thought up the name Queen. It's just a name. But it's regal, obviously, and
sounds splendid."
 9.

8. On the British press

"I was never too keen on the British music press. They've called us a supermarket hype,
and they used to suggest that we didn't write our own songs."
 10.

9. On budgets
"We have no such thing as a budget anymore. Our manager freaks when we show him the
bill. We're lavish to the bone, but all our money goes back into the product."
 11.

10. On the future

"What will I be doing in twenty years' time? I'll be dead, darling! Are you crazy?"
