“I'm possessed by love — but isn't everybody?”

Freddie Mercury (1946–1991) British singer, songwriter and record producer

As quoted in &quot;I am the Champion&quot; by Nick Ferrari in The Sun (19 July 1985) http://www.queenarchives.com/index.php?title=Freddie_Mercury_-_07-19-1985_-_The_Sun. <br class="br">Context: I&#x27;m possessed by love — but isn&#x27;t everybody? Most of my songs are love ballads and things to do with sadness and torture and pain.<br>In terms of love, you&#x27;re not in control and I hate that feeling. I seem to write a lot of sad songs because I&#x27;m a very tragic person. But there&#x27;s always an element of humour at the end.
