The 'live a fabulous life' line circulates on posters far more reliably than in Mercury's documented interviews -- he gave few, and preferred the persona to explanation. Treat most short Mercury quotes as folklore with good taste: the verifiable Freddie is in concert footage and a handful of print interviews, where he was funnier and sharper than the merchandise version.
