If you polish things too much, it loses the feeling

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.

Lately, Ive been listening to some jazz albums. I love the new Pat Metheny album. John Coltrane. I still like good metal, though!

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.

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.
