I found it's very interesting to read Freddie Mercury's quotes. I think many of his quotes are unique and often quite hilarious as well, I can picture how he talked with humor. Also it's nice to know that Freddie surely knew the law of the universe and how it works.  This is the impression I get from reading some of his quotes.  And I really understand why he became a huge star and was successful in his career and got what he wanted in his life. Many people, including me, felt it's sad he passed away at such an early age, 45,  however in several quotes he actually said he did not want to live to be old.   and I've read that he said he did everything he wanted in his life before he passed away. I feel he was an incredibly strong person mentally. I wish that some of his actual quotes were used in the biopic movie about him - Bohemian Rhapsody.   Here are my favorite Freddie Mercury's quotes. " I'm a man of extremes, you know, I

Wow, Wow, Wow !  Finally !!  finally !!        The biopic movie about the British rock band Queen and their lead singer Freddie Mercury will be coming on November 4 !!!  ( in UK, it's October!)  We are sooooooo excited !!!                                            Freddie Mercury                                            Honestly, my husband and I almost gave up that they would ever make it because we felt like it's been forever since we first heard the news that they were working on a film about the band around 10 years ago.  It sounded really hard to make this movie, changing the casts and directors many times,  and also Brian May ( Queen guitarist ) and Roger Taylor ( Queen drummer ) looked very busy with their world concert tours with Adam Lambert.  and when we heard the main actor was chosen to play Freddie Mercury about several months ago, and we saw some photos of him in the news, we felt like the actor does not look like Freddie, s

  I've been looking forward to seeing this movie about Freddie Mercury . http://www.theguardian.com/film/2013/oct/21/ben-whishaw-freddie-mercury-biopic The following is a quote from Queen guitarist, Dr.Brian May in that article, "We're very protective [of Freddie] and we're known for not hiding away from the truth. There's not going to be any pretense about this. It's going to be something very true – as true as we can make it – but also respectful to Freddie as a performer and as a man." I really love the friendship between Brian May and Roger Taylor and John Deacon to Freddie Mercury.  They are so sweet to make Freddie's movie. While many famous people are more of  "Look at me, " type , and many bands have band members who are more concerned about how much attention they themselves will get, these three decided to make a movie about Queen's biography focusing mainly on their band-mate Freddie. It's a very

I’m a little late , but I was surprised to see this news about Sasha Baron Cohen dropped out from playing Freddie Mercury in Mercury’s biopic movie. But after almost 3 years from when it was decided Sasha Baron Cohen will act the part of Freddie Mercury,  I wonder why they got disagreement suddenly ? How much did they talk about the screenplay of the movie and about how Sasha Baron Cohen will act as Mercury ? I thought the movie was almost done and ready to show the premier this year. The news said that what led to Sasha Baron Cohen ’s departure was  “ creative differences “ It said that he wanted an R rated film, but the surviving members of Queen wanted more of a PG film that would attract a wider audience, and a more reverential depiction of Mercury and the band, rather than the direction the movie was taking with Sasha Baron Cohen. I'm on the Queen band member's side, I prefer to watch PG movie which everyone can see his life story. Also Queen’s

What is your image of “ Charisma ” ? My image of charisma is people who have : * big impact. * it factor * a shining ( star ? ) quality * attractive One day, I noticed that good looking and charisma don’t always come together. Beauty is in the eyes of beholder , but I feel there are people who most everyone would agree they are handsome or beautiful whether or not they fit their taste of beauty or not. I understand many people who are good looking have charisma, but what about people who are considered as average looking and yet have strong charisma?    So I’m interested in what are the qualities that makes some people who are not considered great looking, still have charisma. For example, And this is my view of course, When I was a child, the first time I ever saw photos of the Beatles members,   I thought George Harrison is the most handsome among them. And Paul McCartney had a baby face and cute. No wo
