Queen had incredible songwriters.
Queen Victoria loved the French Riviera. She visited on nine occasions and did a great deal to give this area its chic international reputation.
I went to Queen’s – a fine university with the proudly stupidest frosh week in the country. This was, when I was there, supposed to be somehow evidence of a higher social class.
I know people think I’m a stupid little street queen out there begging for change cause there’s nothing else she knows how to do.
In my home country, which is one of the oldest kingdoms in the world, you’re born with the title. You don’t get elected. I don’t know how the king and queen of Denmark would respond if they suddenly had to do a speech, if the people would vote for them. I don’t know how that would end up.
I became the world’s queen of sweaters without even knowing how one was made.
There are a lot of things in Queen albums that you don’t expect; that’s why we threw them in.
A drag queen on time is not a drag queen.
From the beginning of Queen there was such momentum that I never had any time to do anything else. My energy was 95% focused on the band.
Prince Philip protected the Queen and made her laugh.
I don’t want to say I’m closing the doors to this possibility completely. It’s just that I’m very passionate about my acting and being a beauty queen takes time. I’d have to prepare physically. I’d have to perfect my walk. And since I’m no beauty queen, this requires a lot of training.
Queen Paola and I will never forget the ties that have grown between the people and us during the course of the years. Thank you for your confidence, tokens of sympathy and support, sometimes even with a little criticism. We always loved you.
Spying is a like a game of chess: Sometimes you have to withdraw, sometimes you have to sacrifice one of your pieces to win – preferably a knight rather than a king or queen.
At the moment the Queen stuff does sell really well, but there’s no guarantee it’ll go on forever.
I don’t look at myself as a Scream Queen, and I don’t plan on continuing on this genre route. If anything, I want to go very different places.
Interview With a Vampire’ is one of my favorite movies of all time. ‘Queen of the Damned,’ not so much one of my favorite movies, but it’s one of the best soundtracks of all time.
I never thought I’d say the sentence ‘It was a real honour’ – because that implies that you’ve done something pretty special. But now I’ve done that several times. Yesterday I was in Buckingham Palace – I actually met the Queen yesterday and that was an honour. I never thought I’d do something like that.
I worked in television; I’m the Failed Pilot Queen, I’ve done so many television shows, pilots, theater … when you do it for so long, I’m telling you, you get to the point where it becomes varied because you take what’s available for a number of reasons. It’s just an occupational hazard.
Say what you will about Queen Eleanor, she was a savvy, quick-witted woman who made her mark on history. And as the founder of the Courts of Love, what better patron monarch could there be for a romantic novelist?
I think a lot of people don’t really understand. They call me a fat drag queen, which I resent, because I’m a character actor and a very good one.
Well… I don’t think everyone can actually be a drag queen, but I think everyone should investigate drag.
The Bishop and Knight, in contradistinction to the Queen and Rook, are called Minor Pieces.
I was very excited and pleased when I got the opportunity to play Lisa Hayden’s role. I saw the original version of ‘Queen’ and feel the role has so much to offer.
After Pride, Christmas is a drag queen’s next best holiday. It’s pretty gay, full of tinsel and glitter and finery and campness.
Tidicue is not my real last name. It’s just T-D-Q, as in ‘The Drag Queen.’
I really like milk. I’m a dairy queen.
Feminists are like the Borg from ‘Star Trek.’ They don’t know anything about other groups beyond the fact that they need to be assimilated into a hivemind that mindlessly follows the orders of a Queen.
When you stop to take a minute and look at Queen Latifah’s career, she came out of the box right. You know, ‘Ladies First!’ And she’s been consistent with that message of female self-empowerment. She really has!
My lifetime role model and hero is Freddie Mercury of Queen.
Nothing means more to me than racing for my country, the Queen, the Royal Family, and the people back home that support me.
‘Queen Sugar’ is a drama about family. It’s something that allows us to be ourselves and see the ways that we interact with our own families.
I read a lot about her. I read a lot of bios. I read bios about the royal family; I read this little novella called ‘The Uncommon Reader,’ which is a fiction: it’s about Queen Elizabeth going on this library bus and choosing books and reading them, but it’s so sweet.
I’m a rock singer, but I love soul, I love blues, and I love theatrical stuff, too, like theatrical rock like Queen and Meat Loaf.
The Ultimate Queen Celebration is a little bit different. I take liberties with the amount of songs in the set that aren’t necessarily Queen songs. I take some freedoms with The Ultimate Queen Celebration that I can’t really do with The Queen Extravaganza.
I don’t have enough time to actually prepare, to actually commit to being a beauty queen.
I have full confidence that the Sequel Queen is a tag that’s going to stick… And I will be loving it!
Some people say, ‘Oh you’re a weird queen. You’re a punk queen.’ All queens are weird! I don’t care if you’re in a sickening gown or dressed as an octopus. You are treating every day as if it were Halloween. You are donning a character and a persona that isn’t real.
I’ve met the Queen a couple of times, and she’s been delightful. In fact, I often find myself thinking: ‘What would the Queen do in this situation? Write a thank-you note? Yes, I’ll do that.’ She’s all about courtesy.
Eighteen fifty-eight was a year of great technological advancement in the West. That was the year when Queen Victoria was able, for the first time, to communicate with President Buchanan, through the Transatlantic Telegraphic Cable. And they were the first to ‘Twitter’ transatlantically.
The Queen is by much the most powerful of the forces.
I don’t apologize for my diamonds, Rolls-Royce, Range Rover, or anything. Look, Queen Elizabeth has more diamonds than me. Why don’t people attack her for it?
Oprah is the queen!
If only Queen Elizabeth II had the intellectual, political and linguistic skills of Queen Elizabeth I, many people would support giving her some of the powers of an elected president.
I couldn’t handle the rules the Queen has to live by at all, and very few of us could. It’s a golden cage, really. You’re never alone in that role – you are always surrounded by security.
Look at films like ‘Raazi,’ ‘Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi’ and ‘Padmaavat’… women in our film industry have changed the whole scenario. They are no less than our male actors.
Although a madman, Norton wrote letters to Abraham Lincoln and Queen Victoria which they took seriously.
Those who give themselves to prayer should in a special manner have always a devotion to St. Joseph; for I know not how any man can think of the Queen of the angels, during the time that she suffered so much with the Infant Jesus, without giving thanks to St. Joseph for the services he rendered them then.
My favorite thing about the Ultimate Queen Celebration is that we’re not afraid to explore a non-traditional Queen set list.
The notion of ‘Queen’s English’ is usually applied to our pronunciation.
For blue eyes, use warm browns, peaches, and yellows to compliment the eyes. Brown and hazel eyes sparkle in blue and purple shades, which flatters the orange undertone of brown eyes. Green eyes stand out in burgundy and plum shades like CoverGirl Queen Collection Vivid Impact Eyeliner in Cabernet.
Growing up, I was a self-loathing Igor who carried the queen’s books. My job was to be the sarcastic sherpa, quietly providing the farce and adoration, then becoming part of the wall when cued.
I feel people think I’m almost like a robot – like an android… I just don’t really get portrayed as someone who has feelings or who is sympathetic… like a self-absorbed ice queen.
I am not a drag queen.
They respect rappers in the U.S., but in England, it’s the Queen’s country. She’ll forever be putting out the message on these BBC networks that there’s no hood: it’s tea and red phoneboxes.
As your newly crowned queen of Earth, it is my first royal decree that flats are sexy and nails are optional.
I don’t think being Latin queen is a disadvantage.
It’s great to be queen!
During the summer of 2000, in the run-up to Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother’s 100th birthday, I asked the Duke of Edinburgh if he was hoping to reach 100. ‘Good God, no,’ he spluttered, ‘I can’t imagine anything worse. What a ghastly idea.’
The film ‘The Queen’ came about with a producer saying to me that he wanted me to write about the circumstances behind Diana’s death. I think he was hoping that I would come up with some journalistic scoop that would identify an MI5 covert plot.
Devin’s a drama queen.
I wasn’t a cheerleader or the prom queen. I don’t move through the world with a mirror in front of my face, and I’ve never been attracted to projects that had an emphasis on what I look like.
