that exactly why music is compared to the sciences like mass. so i never really got that because i finished around a conservatory and i always failed my math class where you as a man of music and science can tell me how music is related with science or exact science like math for example it's a hard question. obviously publicly there are mathematical things in music but ironically i think the most important things in these are probably instinctive things so i don't appoint how that works out except maybe gives your preference but yes i love pure science and i love music and they're not the same we sure term. history has connections and people who were immersed in both of them you know from being a lot of different seem to me. to patrick more you know. it seems to be that we maybe it's an obstruction being made and people who like these things don't like

the clutter of the world what the complications of the world that we live in you know the pieces of stuff they just like to find the essence of life so maybe pure science is in some way close to the essence of nature and music is close to the pure essence of human being at this point you see yourself as a man of science or a man of music. depends on the going on the hour. living but there's a. called richard dawkins there who is a very strong atheist i had a little kind of argument with him in a hundred ninety minutes because he he kind of i think he felt that he proved there was no good and my feeling is that's not a very scientific attitude because if you if you make a pronouncement you have good evidence if you say there is no good where's the evidence there is no good you can say i don't know you know being an agnostic to me is a scientific point of view which is supportable but you know he's

a very clever man he has a different point of view i mean but in my experience i have felt at times that there is a god of some korean i don't subscribe to any religion organized religion that's a different matter but if your question is about right. but if there is a god we have very little idea of what that god might be that same here and in what we are we have very little understanding or. do you think we're alone out there. it's only opinion i have a strange feeling that maybe we are alone i don't know why this is you know like you you've spoken about the loneliness state you experience after each performance . and so i know because i've spoken to a couple of astronauts and been to the moon at for the past three days and they also speak of that last loneliness that they experience when they're out there in space. stays some music in your opinion gave you that comfort and loneliness.

oh yeah maybe they do for a moment for you maybe ironically again maybe that's what makes you more aware of loneliness because you clips its content people into this wonderful togetherness we people are with the universe and then the reality is you lose it so maybe that's why maybe that's why we feel lonely i do feel a lot of loneliness but it's a comforting feeling. it's not comforting but music when you're. for the moment and science when you're in it for the moment it is all encompassing so yeah you don't have time to think i was going to ask you next hour earlier in your life you know it's the bond and. exploration for celebration was it sex drugs and rock'n'roll it was a poor play money he was never for find was i don't particularly enjoy it was never for money because i was always happy with what i had even if we only had been good . it's just because it was there was exciting it was unknown it was

a door that you thought you could walk through but that thirty years on you won back to finish your ph d. that you just dropped out front like you that it was unfinished business. and that you have a circle someplace in the circle just doesn't quite. make it right past accomplished but it didn't have to do anything with going to kills towards your parents because you dropped out earlier on in life and maybe they're a little disappointed when you see why not to rock and roll you know there was a moment you know your stuff for me. and then my dad was very against it in the beginning because he. i think he saw in my education and the place i'd go to the place that he would have liked to approach and he never got his degree and so it was held him back in his life so he saw me with his fantastic degree in science and the whole world opening up to me and it looked like i was walking away from me and he found that just impossible to use so yeah he was very upset and we hardly

tool for a year maybe more and. various things happened but eventually he came to see a story. and he said to me. i understand there were actually three. and the funny thing was you know he was very against all the time i was doing so you know if we queen he was drawing little maps and charts of how the record sales. during interview he was following with great detail what i was doing so he was always kind of into it he just didn't perhaps want to. say that to me but. obviously when you think queen and see you play next to freddie mercury other great hits come to my mind and then understand that when you reach that level of success with someone you definitely have a special bond you form a special bond and i've heard you in other interview say that you still see freddie in a strange way can you elaborate on that it's like

a family member you lose them but you don't quite understand because you take them with you. and we were so long together. so. you get that closeness from somebody that you can be in a creative environment either through framers or computers or even success but in the creative environment you know you learn to get to know what somebody else more than thinking you might not always be right but you have a feeling for it and so i still feel it and roger does as well or if. you apply as more if we're working as queen in this room we think i would for the story and your own would be would say. yeah he's part of the creative process because he's part of what we are because we really chiseled this thing out together me and george brady and roger so i mean for a while i didn't want to you know i was very you know. it was a point you know the grieving process were just didn't want to talk about we didn't want to feel that it was very and except it's history. sort of got through that and

now i regard it as part of my life which will never go away and it shouldn't go away because it's it's a big part of what i worked to create to freshen what do you think happens after death after death you will be questions in there. i don't know. i'm inclined to think that our view of the universe is very. florence you know in a way that you know people crawling over a piece of paper has a has a very limited view of the universe i think we also have an image of you know so this existence that we know maybe just a very small part of the whole picture you know and i'm excited to think that that may be so. i'm not counting on it because maybe maybe at the end of your life i don't know. you know one thing is certain you can't use it as an excuse to saying

ok you know this life is really the next one is going to be ok you know you have to make the best of when you were so i can't not ask you i know that you and very successful and yet you were on the verge of suicide what stops you at that point is that in love with life. yeah i've had very bad depression which a lot of people deal with at certain points what's killing yourself. i think what stopped me was the fact that i had children and people who tended to me and people who love me. and you just think in a sense is a very selfish thing you can use or pretty if you make so much may soon you do terrible things to the people around you and i would have you know my children. and maybe i would like to tell you that there was a glimmer of hope but there wasn't at that time i remember driving and seeing the bridge and thinking i could do this and i just don't know if it would make you know

i have to somehow. discover what what is going on and. yeah it would be a bad thing to do because of the people around me and you come up more empowered. actually. i think if you do certain kinds of work you come out more empowered and i do i do kind of check my life and check myself into a depression clinic which was actually the best thing i ever did because it was a new. that is my response in your car you know and i had to teach my preconceptions that were there from we carried me and you. when you were energy here was an instant but it could be the tools to deal with life in a slightly different way i think you have to get to the point where you throw everything away. because that's the only way you can make a new start i realised that if i did not deal with the depression i was no use to anybody so it's the same kind of logic is not killing yourself you know. killing

yourself is really bad for everybody around you but also staying in depression is very bad for everyone around you there's no use struggling and trying to keep doing what you've been doing the whole time it's going to be the same thing you know you have to somehow get outside. and trust that you can come back as a person who can deal with things if you make me that all the money you want educated men you love staring at stars would you consider maybe find a space tourist you know i don't like being a tourist soprani but you say that you know if i was flying in there was some reason for it into space i think i would enjoy it more it's like being here. i keep busy in my life and it's quite hard for me it's like a week off just to come to generate although i'd love to know if there was an excuse to come you know i had worked it through i had things which could be achieved and i think that's made me and joy the sunshine and and the beach more the fact that i'm sort of part of the life of the sun and i love the sun and anyway and

it's because of the world it's not because i'm being a tourist so you know if there was some reason to go into space if i thought it would. stop people torturing animals. but i would enjoy it have you spoken to some of the brilliant grains time for the past three days what do you think what you think could be or is high priest of the twenty first century the high priest of the twenty first boy oh boy boy oh. maybe nelson mandela. because he has a very important key i think apart from wisdom and knowledge. he has the key of forgiveness which i think saved his country completely from abroad. and i think people the people who run this planet studied under nelson mandela then we would definitely get a better planet and i think that would be more than anyone else i think he has

ricky. thank you very much for this interview came. from. the headlines on r.t. and suicide rates rise in japan as people struggle with the aftermath of the earthquake disaster meanwhile the atomic watchdog says the radiation of the stricken of fukushima nuclear plant could be contained within months. the dark days ahead president obama now calls on the public to pressure congress into an agreement to avoid a default and he blames republicans for stalling toward center fusing to accept a balanced compromise to the nation's debt crisis. and the top north korean

a few questions despite my mrs dunn you left chelsea three years before i monogram or is not the club do you feel any regret that you weren't there when salaries when sky high and the blues by only a one believe. yeah i think it was about time for me to leave the club but i didn't know at the time that which was going to come and also. in this time i was not in the good relationship with the coach who was the only thing i had to leave but i was sorry for sure because after two years i left chelsea won the championship you spearheaded sunni area it's team which played in the champions league so why did you decide to make a move to one team which has been just relegated to the owner of the club and the governator of the region. especially in romania for me three times in my house on beasley to come here thanks i think that was the fantasy reason i'm in the club i

was working i was i was sure it is going in the wrong direction because they finish the money and in this moment this club disappear for good and i think i did the right thing to move in the right time before they come to the head five coaches in one ear and i was a little bit scared about the situation but they said they want to change something and leave even though in the last three games in the road and there was the pressure a little bit last year i know that the owner of the club said. patrice want to be the new fed was sort of the good one and he'll trust me do you think that the world twenty team can change something in this i'm sure i'm kind of percent sure after the world cup russia will be much better not just in the national team but also in the british and they will learn a lot from this and it's good for the country because they'll be new stadiums new where ports new streets new hotels i think is fantastic for russia the world cup will be here and i wish after the world cup i'll be russia because that will be the

time to be here how do you think chelsea will do next season. i think favorable depends on the transfer to be as much just a matter of these really strong and they already been buying to replace. but the moment you'll see three nothing. even if it is a coach only the course going to change the needle for in my opinion some players in the champions league with the plate. present. is where we have to leave the sport whether it's next season. for the full story we've got it for. the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers.
