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

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.

Everything you need to know about Iron Maiden is onstage.

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.

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.

Rock music should be gross: that's the fun of it. It gets up and drops its trousers.

My dad always told me, 'I don't care what you do. Just aim to be the best at it. Even if it's the world's best window cleaner.'

If pain is a pot of boiling water, humor can be the rising steam.

God is in control and knowing that at the end of the day what happens - whether I'm comfortable with it or not or afraid of it or not - that God is in control.

We want people to feel with us more than to act for us.

I don't care so much anymore about 'good photography'; I am gathering evidence for history.

Civilization is only savagery silver-gilt.

That American Taliban kid Johnny Walker was indicted today. Ten counts of terrorism. He could get 5 life sentences. In Taliban terms, that's 360 virgins.

Music films are great, but they can never compete with a live performance. Live music is what it is. It's the whole point. You experience it in the moment.

Powerful groups with anti-Christian worldviews dominate major media and major educational institutions.

I was by birth a gentleman, living neither in any considerable height nor yet in obscurity.

Speak not at all, in any wise, till you have somewhat to speak; care not for the reward of your speaking, but simply and with undivided mind for the truth of your speaking.
