More quotes by 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
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.
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 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
Anybody auditions for X-Factor it's because they want to be famous, not because they are artists.

Bruce Dickinson
There are basically two categories of music: Metal and bullshit.
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.
Bruce Dickinson
If you really want to annoy me, ask me when I'm going to retire from rock n' roll.
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
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
With the Internet, bands can come and go every five minutes and the music looks disposable.
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
I'm very good at daydreaming. Ask any of my schoolteachers.
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
Business is just about enabling human beings, nothing more, nothing less. Businesses need to recognize this fundamental fact.
Bruce Dickinson
Best two rock voices I've heard in a last few years both have been from grunge bands: it's Eddie Vedder and the other one is Chris Cornell from Soundgarden.
Bruce Dickinson
If your only arbiter of anything is money, really you should... go and rob banks.
