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

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

I never try and sound like Sabbath.

It doesn't matter who you vote for. It's still the same billionaires that run the world.

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.

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.
