Ozzy wanted to get us back together. It's been 20 years. We did a couple of songs during his farewell in 1992 and that got the ball rolling.

The '80s were the worst period. You had these horrible pop bands growing their hair and calling themselves metal.

I like to deal in the reality of life. I'm too old to sing about women and things like that.

I've been perfectly happily married for 25 years, and have a nice life. Inane things don't interest me.

If you polish things too much, it loses the feeling

Jack Bruce, as soon as I saw him, it changed me. I didn't even know what bass players did until I saw Cream.

To do the Ozzfest again would be great. I'd like to finish with a final Sabbath album. You always feel that it is still a challenge.
