I have a genuine love affair with my audience. When I'm on stage they're not privileged to see me. It's a privilege for me to see them.

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.

I didn't really like the taste of booze. I liked the effect it did on me. But I can't say I savored a glass full of Chablis Chablis 1932. I drank whatever s - - was in front of me and got me buzzed.

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?

I didn’t have a clue what love was about until I met Sharon.

The most unbelievable thing about my behaviour is that I was convinced it was entirely f**king normal.

I've listened to Preachers, I've listened to fools. I've worshipped the dropouts, who've made their own rules.
