More quotes by Bruce Dickinson
I've been to the Reading festival twice before-as a punter, though I stayed backstage in the hospitality tent!
Bruce Dickinson
Rock music should be gross: that's the fun of it. It gets up and drops its trousers.
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
I'm very good at daydreaming. Ask any of my schoolteachers.
Bruce Dickinson
If your only arbiter of anything is money, really you should... go and rob banks.
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
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
With the Internet, bands can come and go every five minutes and the music looks disposable.
Bruce Dickinson
A few of these interviews have gone slightly awry, because every now and again there has been the odd conflict of interest between interviews because of the Iron Maiden record, and I am a bit long-winded.
Bruce Dickinson
Some of Eminem's rap songs kind of have the teenage love songs like the fifties love songs. It's kind of like domestic drama set to music. He is really good storyteller.
Bruce Dickinson
It was like finding some weird tribe in the middle of the jungle and, you know, they all come out and go: Fear of the Dark. Favorite Album. What?!?
Bruce Dickinson
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
If it all just happens like this for the rest of my life, it's going to be one endless Groundhog Day. I determined that I was not prepared to submit to this regime, so I thought I had to do something about it.
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
There are basically two categories of music: Metal and bullshit.
Bruce Dickinson
When you cut human beings down to size, we're really quite simple creatures food, shelter, warmth, light, heat and you build it up from there really until you finally go Gucci shoes or whatever it is or whatever your consumer desires are. All those desires are ultimately, they're about gratification.
Bruce Dickinson
The joke in aviation is, 'If you want to make a million, you'd better start with £10m.'
Bruce Dickinson
Business is just about enabling human beings, nothing more, nothing less. Businesses need to recognize this fundamental fact.
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.
