Somebody said to me this morning, 'To what do you attribute your longevity?' I don't know. I mean, I couldn't have planned my life out better. By all accounts I should be dead! The abuse I put my body through: the drugs, the alcohol, the lifestyle I've lived the last 30 years!

I knew it was time to get off of reality TV when someone asked me if I sang as well as acted.

I kept hearing that metal is dead and Ozzy's dead and people that like Ozzy are dead. I have never had an empty seat. I've always sold out, so who's saying it's all over?

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

I tried heroin once and I didn't like it. It frightened me.

They said I would never write this book. Well, f**k ’em – ’cos here it is. All I have to do now is remember something... Bollocks. I can’t remember anything.

It's all part of my journey - I've done a lot of stupid things, but you learn by your mistakes.
