Randy [Rhoads] was laid to rest at a place called Mountain View Cemetery, where his grandparents were buried. I made a vow there and then to honour his death every year by sending flowers. Unlike most of my vows, I kept it. But I’ve never been back to his graveside. I’d like to go there again one day, before I finally join him on the other side.

There are no identical twins, or forgivable sins.

Voices in the darkness scream away my mental health, can I ask a question to help me save me from myself?

I don't want you to play me a riff that's going to impress Joe Satriani; give me a riff that makes a kid want to go out and buy a guitar and learn to play.

My idea of what God should be is a good guy. I don't think there's any good in killing people in the name of your God.

You can never take the violence back.

I listen to some of the lyrics I used to write and I say, "Where was my head at when I wrote that?"
