If you polish things too much, it loses the feeling

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

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.

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.

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

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

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