Freddie was the glue that kept us together. He was a very complex man: very shy but also with a forceful side to him.
Roger Taylor
Our bassist, Tim Staffell, was at art college with Frederick Bulsara, who changed his name to Freddie Mercury and joined the band on vocals after Tim left in 1970.
Roger Taylor
We used to rehearse in unused lecture halls at Imperial and recorded our first album, 'Queen,' in 1971 while I was studying for my biology finals - it is amazing I passed.
Roger Taylor
I'll tell you what I really loved: the version of 'Somebody to Love' that was in 'Happy Feet.' That was fantastic.
Roger Taylor
What was Freddie like then? Alongside the showman, he was a rather shy introvert. But if the attention was focused on him, he was a natural star, as we all saw after we put Queen together. Week by week, we saw him grow into this character, Freddie Mercury.
Roger Taylor
Radio is so heavily programmed; you have to fit into a certain box. So it's harder for anything different to get through.
Roger Taylor
I don't want impersonators playing our music badly.
Roger Taylor
I wouldn't sit down and work at writing a song like a novelist or something.

Of the Queen tributes, some of them are very funny, and some of them are really not funny at all. The terrible ones are cheesy and pantolike, more about dressing up in a Brian May wig and a Freddie Mercury moustache, and what they're missing out is the fact that the music is quite complicated and actually not easy to perform.
Roger Taylor
I didn't take a lot of the videos seriously; making videos was one of the most tedious things that you can imagine.
Roger Taylor
I played with a few local bands in the West Country, where I grew up, but when I was 18, I moved to London, which at that time was probably the most exciting musical city in the world. I was supposed to be studying dentistry, but all the time I was looking for a band to join.
Roger Taylor
I know that drummers tend to be the butt of a thousand jokes, usually from the uninformed and untalented, but I always felt I had an important role.
Roger Taylor
The sound levels on stage were so loud with all that constant banging and smash, smash, smash; it did untold damage to the fine nerve endings in the inner ear, though it is worse in the left, which is the side of my snare drum and the monitor.
Roger Taylor
Hearing loss has not affected my vocal range. I can still pitch perfectly, but without the hearing aids, I don't hear the intricate high parts of the actual spectrum.
Roger Taylor
The sicker Freddie got, the more he seemed to need to record, to give himself something to do, some sort of reason to get up.
Roger Taylor
The only thing I've got is that the ring fingers on both my hands have a little arthritis in each. It's a worn out joint because of too much exertion and stress. But it doesn't affect my playing, which is good.
Roger Taylor
It was Freddie who instilled in us the belief that we had to make people gasp every time.
Roger Taylor
My own introduction to music came quite early. My father didn't have much of an education, but he was keen for me to get some qualifications, and I ended up winning a choral scholarship to a cathedral school.
Roger Taylor
Our story is in two halves, as the band's career up to Freddie's death was 20 years, and 20 years later, our music is as popular as it was then. It's a sort of everlasting... income.
Roger Taylor
There is a sense of melancholy attached to seeing images of yourself from a different era, especially when you see a picture.
