Bruce Dickinson

"Some days you're the pigeon, some days you're the statue."

"(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?!?"

"Fans want to see people who can play; they respect certain values like professionalism, and they don't want to be treated like shit. They pay good money and they look forward to seeing some good music being played by decent musicians, who really put their soul into it."

"We tread a fine line between taking ourselves seriously and being Spinal Tap."

"Metal lives in a world of its own creation."
