I'd sort of dabbled in Black Magic, not practicing it, but I was interested in it. All these horrible things kept happening to me - a lot of my aunts and uncles started dying and I was seeing all these bloody things visiting me during the night.

I never try and sound like Sabbath.

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

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.

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 never picked a bass up before Sabbath started
