More quotes by 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
If your only arbiter of anything is money, really you should... go and rob banks.
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
With the Internet, bands can come and go every five minutes and the music looks disposable.
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
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
The joke in aviation is, 'If you want to make a million, you'd better start with £10m.'
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
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
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.'
Bruce Dickinson
Rock music should be gross: that's the fun of it. It gets up and drops its trousers.
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
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
Business is just about enabling human beings, nothing more, nothing less. Businesses need to recognize this fundamental fact.
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
I'm not going to do any more solo touring.
Bruce Dickinson
The mystical poetry of William Blake's artwork also forms the basis for the album cover.
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
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
