I never picked a bass up before Sabbath started
I never try and sound like Sabbath.

When you see all of these bands citing you as influences, it makes you feel relevant
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.
Toward the later days of Sabbath, instead of going in and knocking out what songs we did in rehearsal, we would polish them to death.
