Roger Taylor

It was Freddie who instilled in us the belief that we had to make people gasp every time.

I understand people who say, 'There is no Queen without Freddie. Just leave it be.' Because that's what we felt, following his death. All three of us said, 'Right, that's the end of the band.' But the band just didn't seem to die.

I wouldn't sit down and work at writing a song like a novelist or something.
