I never received any encouragement. My father would work nights and my mother would work during the day. We were expected to get a job with a trade.

It took a lot of water to down just that f-king bat's head, let me tell you. It's still stuck in my f-king throat, after all these years. People all over the world say, 'You're the guy who kills creatures? You still do it? You do it every night?' It happened f-king once, for Christ's sake.

I'm into rock'n'roll because rock'n'roll, to me, means freedom.

My philosophy is if you're happy being a born - again Christian, if you're happy be­ing a Roman Catholic, if you're happy being a Jew or Moslem ... great!! I'm happy being Ozzy.

I don't want to be a hero, I don't want to ever let you down.

I know that I'm here - I believe that I'm here for a purpose. I believe in forces of fate.

Unholy soldier, disciple of sin, what kind of mind are you living in?
