I would not want to write something about something I do not think about

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.

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

To me, Sabbath was always just a really heavy blues band. That s all we were. We just took those blues roots and made them heavier.

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

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.
