Well, Freddie Mercury is a really huge rock star in my head. I've always thought he was just so tough and such an amazing entertainer, really a contradiction in many ways as well. So he was incredible.

I'd never compare myself to Freddie Mercury because I look up to him far too much. As an artist, not necessarily as a person.

I'm a huge Freddie Mercury fan. I think he was the end-all. I love his lack of inhibition, his talent, the chances he took. He made mistakes on his records, and he didn't care.

Freddie Mercury, to me, was probably the most important frontman to me growing up.

I don't want to be nasty but let's just say Robbie Williams is no Freddie Mercury.

I was growing up listening to Queen. Freddie Mercury threw those incredible melodies into his songs.

I know I'm not Freddie Mercury or Ann Wilson, and that's okay. You don't have to be a great singer to sing rock and roll. That's not what it's about.

My lifetime role model and hero is Freddie Mercury of Queen.

I thought Jimi Hendrix... was just phenomenal.

Given that I can't sing like Freddie Mercury, obviously I'm not going to pursue it as a career. What would be the point?
