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

I was so frustrated in Sabbath after the last few albums. I just didn't like the musical direction Sabbath was going in

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

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.

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

Ozzy wanted to get us back together. It's been 20 years. We did a couple of songs during his farewell in 1992 and that got the ball rolling.

I don't feel a lack of hope. It's just disappointment that after all these years we're still fighting meaningless wars for a handful of people.
