I'm not afraid to speak out and say the things that I want to do, or do the things I want to do. So I think in the end being natural and being actually genuine is what wins, and I hope that comes out in my songs.
Interviewer:Do you ever worry that you could end up lonely, rich...a lonely, rich old man when you're 70?
Freddie:No, because I would be dead long before that.
Interviewer:Do you think so? Why do you think that?
Freddie:Because, I don't know. It would be boring to be 70.
Interviewer:Would it be?
Freddie:Yeah..well, I'll tell you what, I can answer that when I am 70, if you're still around. I won't be there. Oh, darling, I'll be dead and gone, dear, and starting a new life somewhere else.
Interviewer:So you don't expect to make old bones?
Freddie:No, I don't actually. I really don't care.
Interviewer:You don't really care?
Freddie:Really, I don't really care. I don't have any, um..aspirations to live to 70. I don't want to sound sort of morbid, but I mean, I'm 41, and 70 is a long way away. And I don't really give a damn. And as far as I'm concerned, I mean..I've lived a full life, and if I'm dead tomorrow, I don't give a damn, you know? I mean, I really have done it all.
Freddie talks about his then upcoming solo record “Made in Heaven”, his extravagant life, and how love is incorporated into his songs. Many famous quotes are said in this interview from c. 1984/85.
Freddie:As long as the music is still there, and as long as the people are still buying the music, then, then it's OK. When they stop stop buying our records, then I'll say goodbye and do something else, become a strip artist or something.
Interviewer (Rudi Dolezal):Yeah, what, to what music you would strip? What music would you.."
