One of my earliest ventures was when I was nine years old. I realized there was a shortage of pencils at school, so I started Rent-a-Pencil. But I made a fundamental mistake. Everybody stole my pencils.

South Wales is a hub of aviation.
Bruce Dickinson
I shall refract myself, yes, I shall no longer be known as the prism.
Bruce Dickinson
I find that fencing and training give me more stamina and help me deal with the craziness of being on the road so much.
Bruce Dickinson
I'm not going to do any more solo touring.
Bruce Dickinson
There are basically two categories of music: Metal and bullshit.
Bruce Dickinson
I'm very good at daydreaming. Ask any of my schoolteachers.
Bruce Dickinson
My aim as a frontman is always to try and shrink the venue, if you can, to turn that football stadium into the world's smallest club. At least you have to try.
Bruce Dickinson
I don't have interns. I don't have a manager. I don't have assistants. I don't have a secretary. I can't figure out Outlook Express. I'm the worst person in the world answering e-mails, and my phone is probably the oldest, most battered phone you can find. So I just talk to people.
Bruce Dickinson
My dad always told me, 'I don't care what you do. Just aim to be the best at it. Even if it's the world's best window cleaner.'

In the days when Glastonbury was an alternative festival, it was quite interesting. Now it is the most bourgeois thing on the planet ... we'll leave the middle classes to do Glastonbury and the rest of the great unwashed will decamp to Knebworth and drink a lot of beer and have fun.
Bruce Dickinson
The joke in aviation is, 'If you want to make a million, you'd better start with £10m.'
Bruce Dickinson
In my teenage years I was put off the idea of a career in flying, because I'd convinced myself that you had to be a boffin with degrees in maths and physics, which were my weakest subjects.
Bruce Dickinson
Engineering stimulates the mind. Kids get bored easily. They have got to get out and get their hands dirty: make things, dismantle things, fix things. When the schools can offer that, you'll have an engineer for life.
Bruce Dickinson
The mystical poetry of William Blake's artwork also forms the basis for the album cover.
Bruce Dickinson
I don't like being recognised, I have no interest in being famous at all, I just do what I do. If I could be like Captain Kirk and beam myself up and then beam myself down, I would!
Bruce Dickinson
I've been to the Reading festival twice before-as a punter, though I stayed backstage in the hospitality tent!
Bruce Dickinson
If your only arbiter of anything is money, really you should... go and rob banks.
Bruce Dickinson
If you really want to annoy me, ask me when I'm going to retire from rock n' roll.
Bruce Dickinson
In my naïvety, I thought people who were in rock 'n' roll bands were great artists, and it was a huge shock to the system to realise that they weren't, that they didn't even aspire to be, really. Some of them did, maybe, but some of them, like Samson, were very frightened of the idea.
