#1 I was a very insecure young boy, but I had confidence in myself and my bandmates. I knew we would make it, and I told anyone who asked that we would be the number one band. I was fortunate in the beginning, as I was pampered but not spoiled.

#2 I was put in an environment where I had to fend for myself, so I learned how to be responsible at an early age. I loathed cricket and long distance running, but I was good at hockey and boxing. I took piano lessons at school and enjoyed it.

#3 I was the only one in the band who had studied art. The others were all scientists, and they had decided to form a band together. They knew they could do it. They weren’t just playing with the music scene.

#4 Queen’s music was original enough to prove it. We weren’t the type of band that would follow someone else’s lead. We wanted to make it interesting, and we wanted to incorporate all our different backgrounds.
