You’ve got to try and take things to the next level, or you’ll just get stuck in a rut.

Sabbath were a hippy band. We were into peace.

It was such an amazing time for music in the Sixties. When popular music hit me, it was like magic was in the air.

Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most.

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 know if I'm a medium for some outside source. Whatever it is, frankly, I hope it's not what I think … Satan.

As I'm getting older a lot of my friends I used to go out and party with, they're all dead. The fact that I've been through that, I'm not proud of the fact that I've been through all that, but it's part of my journey. I'm lucky to be alive. I'm lucky to be playing music.
