"There are basically two categories of music: Metal and bullshit."
"You can sail in the desert with a ship of fools. You can smuggle in Moses and his book of rules. But you can't take a mother and give her back her son. What kind of freedom is bought with a gun? People like to build their prison walls when they're afraid to look inside... a thousand points of light are the muzzle flashes in the night. And the freedoms you profess to hold won't bring the dead back from the cold."

"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."
