Black Sabbath was written on bass: I just walked into the studio and went, bah, bah, bah, and everybody joined in and we just did it.

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

If you are a pop band, don't say you're a metal band. Poison and Warrant were about as metal as the Backstreet Boys.

It doesn't matter who you vote for. It's still the same billionaires that run the world.

I never picked a bass up before Sabbath started

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

I never try and sound like Sabbath.
