A biography for Bruce Dickinsonhasn’t been written yet.
“I do like Marylin Manson, actually. I think, he's very talented and he did make some great music.”
“I find that fencing and training give me more stamina and help me deal with the craziness of being on the road so much.”
“Everything you need to know about Iron Maiden is onstage.”
“If heavy metal bands ruled the world, we'd be a lot better off.”
“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.”
“The more guitars we have onstage the better, as I'm concerned.”
“If you really want to annoy me, ask me when I'm going to retire from rock n' roll.”
“I am taking a break, but not a huge break because the Maiden record is actually happening right now, and I am recording it as we speak, well not right as we speak, but close.”
“I think the best way to find out about something is to try to do it to the max. A lot of people take up a hobby or sport and then find an excuse not to carry on with it. Once I start something, I won't stop until I'm as good at it as I'll ever be.”
“I don't like being recognised, I have no interest in being famous at all, I just do what I do. If I could be like Captain Kirk and beam myself up and then beam myself down, I would!”
“When I write with Maiden, then I write only with the guys in Maiden, we don't do songs from outside people.”
