I finally came to the decision that I couldn't do it like that anymore. So I surrendered to that. I did (the Sabbath reunion tour) without anything - cigarettes, tobacco, dope, anything. And I had so much more fun without it.

I’m a lunatic by nature, and lunatics don’t need training – they just are.

It was one of the greatest experiences I have ever had in my life to meet Paul McCartney. It was phenomenal.

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.

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.

Won't you ride my white horse?

A child of broken mind, the fear that I hide behind.
