Musicians, photographers and of course band members used to sincerely tell how much they appreciate Brian’s human and professional features no matter they know him for years or met him only once.
I collected some quotes, possibly not very well known for you, which I believe can fill you heart with warm and tender feelings about our birthday boy❤️

๐Ÿ“ข He was very critical, he didn’t seem to take anything on trust, I do remember that. And I remember him, he was always looking a little bit bemused by the sort of college authority and the sort of rules in the drama department. He wasn’t… I wouldn’t say he was a rebel at that point and he was a kind of… he struck me as a quite subversive, he was quite subversive though he was always very charming and very pleasant and very obliging and always with a twinkle in his eye, that I do remember.
He chose his friends carefully. From what I can remember he had a few very close friends who were also very interesting, rather different people who weren’t conventional in here students.

๐Ÿ“ข…I really do love Brian, he's a great guy – an incredibly talented, very interesting character. […] I definitely find Brian's lyrics very inspiring. I think he is a fantastic lyrics writer. […] Brian is an icon. I can use that word totally 100 % accurate with Brian. He is a rock-n-roll icon. When you see a picture of somebody like David Bowie or Bob Marley or Jimi Hendrix and see a picture with Brian it's the same vibe he's one of those guys. And a lot of that is down to the fact that he is an icon, he has an iconic sense of style. His face, think about his early style, the dress, the make-up, the lipstick, the eye-shadow. It's such a strong look.
