More quotes by Bruce Dickinson

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
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
I shall refract myself, yes, I shall no longer be known as the prism.
Bruce Dickinson
Business is just about enabling human beings, nothing more, nothing less. Businesses need to recognize this fundamental fact.
Bruce Dickinson

Bruce Dickinson
There are basically two categories of music: Metal and bullshit.
Bruce Dickinson
With the Internet, bands can come and go every five minutes and the music looks disposable.
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
Life on the road can get a little one-dimensional. I didn't want to reach 40 and have to say all I'd done was look out the window of a tour bus and get drunk.
Bruce Dickinson
I guess it was the first time I really thought about leaving. I don't just mean Iron Maiden, I mean quitting music altogether. I just thought, 'Nothing is worth feeling like this for.' I began to feel like I was a piece of machinery, like I was part of the lighting rig.
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
South Wales is a hub of aviation.
Bruce Dickinson
If your only arbiter of anything is money, really you should... go and rob banks.
