I never try and sound like Sabbath.

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

When you see all of these bands citing you as influences, it makes you feel relevant

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.

The Geezer album, Black Science, had a lot of keyboards and it did not work.

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.
