This is really nice. Freddie talks about Queen, music, Queen's Rainbow film, his music influences, fashion, where he buys his clothes and nail polish, different. Enjoy! link

I know...I have to admit though, Freddie was a great sport, indulging the journalist with GREAT answers. I mean Freddie could have ignored the questions,or gotten mad, but Freddie had a wonderful way about him and he always knew how to color and highlight things back to his way, where he came off the "Star". I thought Freddie's answers were quite erotic and sexy, cool.
CIRCUS: Could you compare yourself to another human being?
MERCURY: No way. I think I'm totally original. I'm sure there are many people who see themselves in me, but that's to them. I'm me, basically, and that's how I like to be.
lol classic.
Thanks a lot!
I like to read his interviews and I've just enjoyed it a lot as I've been imagining his earlier style such as black nail polish and Zandra Rhodes outfits and long hair...
about money..."I spend it as soon as I get it."
which is very very like Freddie... :D
CIRCUS: Would you like to be the first man on the cover of Vogue?
MERCURY: That would be great. You never know how true that might be, actually. We're working on it.
What a good question, heh.
Turns out...Freddie sort of got that wish...he was IN the British version Of Vogue from 1985, in some article or ad or photo shoot wearing a diamond ring and a vest with a diamond stud...something like that...
(I don't know for sure...cause I posted a topic about this trying to find someone with a copy of the piece to scan it and post it..but it never happened)
