Nobody ever told me, I found out for myself, you got to believe in foolish miracles.

We were always told we were one step behind Deep Purple, one step behind Led Zeppelin, one step behind everybody. Our manager didn't want to let us know how popular we were. It's only after we did Ozzfest that people started telling me stuff. I thought they were taking the piss. People would come up to me and go, "Respect."

I was never good at sports. I was never good at exams, because they didn't understand dyslexia.

To be a parent, especially to rock & roll kids, I think being a parent is the most difficult job on the face of the earth. You hate to say things that will upset your kids, but then sometimes you have to because you can't let them run around wild.

I couldn't be a royal. It's like living in a supersonic goldfish bowl.

My heart stopped twice. They had to stab me to drain the blood from my lungs because I was drowning in my own blood.

Maybe it's not too late to learn how to love and forget how to hate.
