Without a doubt, Ozzy is the craziest person I've ever met. Son of Sam is a close second.

What I used to play was rhythm guitar before I saw Jack Bruce. I said, That's what I want to do in life. He was definitely the main influence

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

During our first meeting, Tony Iommi was a great jazz guitarist, his capabilities cover all styles - Black Sabbath has even narrowed his horizons.

I never picked a bass up before Sabbath started

I love soccer. That's all I ever watch. I'll watch it all day if I can. But I'm too bloody old to play now.

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