Freddie Mercury trích dẫn 

... At that time we were so of getting know each other... and we were very hungry for uhm... for hamburgers [he laughed]... (taken from "Bohemian Champions")

Here is one of my favorite quotes from Freddie:
"I'm not going to be a star, I'm going to be a legend!
I want to be the Rudolph Nureyev of rock and roll!"

"In the beginning I was quite prepared to starve, which I did,, and just make a go of it. You have to believe in yourself, no matter how long it takes."
When Queen formed all of us were aiming for the top slot and we weren't going to be content with anything less."
(these quotes are from the book Freddie Mercury His LIfe In His Own Words)

"Rhapsody needed a lot of thought, it didn't just come out of thin air. Certain songs require that sort of pompous flair. I had to work like crazy."( From the same book as above. Tons of great quotes in there!)
