I like to go for a walk or swimming or in the garden when I can. It's a busy kind of life, but I guess I'm lucky.
From Brian May
The guitar has a kind of grit and excitement possessed by nothing else.
We do play to our audience. It's very important. You can't create music in a vacuum.
The biggest emotion in creation is the bridge to optimism.
Astronomy's much more fun when you're not an astronomer.
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 go through major crises every few months, but then I have great peaks of belief and creativity. I'm a weird kind of animal.
I'm pretty basic as far as technique is concerned. I don't use many gadgets, and I like the sound my guitar makes, anyway.
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.
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.
