song writing people
When I write with Maiden, then I write only with the guys in Maiden, we don't do songs from outside people.
creative littles sometimes
Well, yeah, sometimes I get a little too creative.
rocks want rock-n-roll
If you really want to annoy me, ask me when I'm going to retire from rock n' roll.
journey drunk done
Life on the road can get a little one-dimensional. I didn't want to reach 40 and have to say all I'd done was look out the window of a tour bus and get drunk.
enabling facts needs
Business is just about enabling human beings, nothing more, nothing less. Businesses need to recognize this fundamental fact.
fashion icons life-is
Apart from death and taxes, the one thing that's certain in this life is that I'll never be a fashion icon.
mean hands despair
The celebrity thing, I mean, Lindsay Lohan - what's she for? I look at that and throw my hands up in despair.
prisms known
I shall refract myself, yes, I shall no longer be known as the prism.
song teenage drama
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.
mean iron leaving
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.
dark costa-rica firsts
(On performing in Costa Rica for the first time) 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?!?
mistake school years
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.
iron needs maidens
Everything you need to know about Iron Maiden is onstage.
daydreaming very-good asks
I'm very good at daydreaming. Ask any of my schoolteachers.
