"There are basically two categories of music: Metal and bullshit."
"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."

"If heavy metal bands ruled the world, we'd be a lot better off."
"We're better than Metallica. We're better musicians, better players. Put it this way, they can try to walk onstage after an Iron Maiden show if they want."
"I find that fencing and training give me more stamina and help me deal with the craziness of being on the road so much."
"Life is too short to do the things you don't love doing."
"Iron Maiden is an institution, and I'm delighted that I'm involved in it, but there was a time that I wasn't delighted so I quit."
