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

"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."
