“To me, anyone with an Australian accent wielding a tennis racket is cool.”

“We are one of the last heavy metal bands. Iron Maiden has always been unique.”

“We try and stay out of the corporate side of it. The band has never compromised. At some point in our career we could have made a certain type of record and sold millions of units, as they are called.”

“We always seem to be a bit surprised that our children are reflecting stuff that we are showing them. I don't know about you, but every movie that I saw when I was a kid, I emulated. I was Haley Mills for an entire summer and had an English accent.”

“I was always told at school I was posh, then I came to London, and here I'm told I have a country accent.”

“I think the way I speak is probably a combination of many things. First and foremost, I am married to a Brit who's got a very, very strong London accent, and I'm sure some of his inflections have sort of rolled over on me.”
