Conceived in anger, addicted to hate, the mutant child of a twisted state.

I'd rather see twenty thousand smiling faces than twenty thousand crying people.

I just suddenly thought, people really get off on being scared. They pay money to see green foam come out of people's mouths.

I would lock myself in my room and drink a case of Corona and smoke a load of pot.

Occasionally, I go off the rails. I once nearly killed somebody once - it wasn't funny. I am a lunatic. The pressure of work, the pressure - everyone has a stop valve, and I don't have one.

In those days, if you wanted a new car or a holiday, you'd phone up the office and they'd send you some cash. You never had a bank account. I don't know anyone from the music business in the Seventies that it didn't happen to.

I have a night off on Halloween. It's Halloween for me every night. Let everybody else be Ozzy for the night. People go out dressed as me.
