Everything that I think is good is bad, and everything that I think is bad is good.

As long as there are kids who are pissed off and have no real way in venting out that anger, heavy metal will live on.

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.

When you're young, you're stupid. You do silly things.

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 got rabies shots for biting the head off a bat but that's OK - the bat had to get Ozzy shots.

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