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.

You can't beat Freddie Mercury. He was a mad man in the best sense possible.

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'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.

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.

I don't know if I should say this, but I feel more like a singer than an artist.

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?

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