This day he had these new bed sheets he was immensely proud of. and it was kind of 'come over. have a cup of tea and we'll do a few shots'. There were no stylists. no makeup artists - there was a casualness based on the intimacy of the relationship. Freddie Mercury was one of my favorite human beings. A gem of a man." - Mick Rock
