When I left the band, what the band did is really their own business. And their career-they got on with it, and I got on with my career.

In my teenage years I was put off the idea of a career in flying, because I'd convinced myself that you had to be a boffin with degrees in maths and physics, which were my weakest subjects.

Business is just about enabling human beings, nothing more, nothing less. Businesses need to recognize this fundamental fact.

Well, it's a nice quiet time for Iron Maiden, and I'll be releasing a new solo album next year, so this is a really good time for the managing out my solo career, which is quite well.

I don't [know] if it could enhance his career because he's already the best in the business for the most part, and I don't think he's set his sights on any other business, I don't think, again, it would be that much of a plus.

[Since he's in the business, Chris Barron fortunately understands the demands of his wife's career.] Even though he sings rock and roll, ... he loves musical theatre — maybe even more than I do. He loves Cole Porter, Leonard Bernstein. . .
