I feel joy when I do a great show.

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.

When you’re in love, it’s not just about the messing around in the sack, it’s about how empty you feel when they’re gone.

In 1964 something totally unexpected happened. I got a job I enjoyed.

All that stuff about heavy metal and hard rock, I don't subscribe to any of that. It's all just music. I mean, the heavy metal from the Seventies sounds nothing like the stuff from the Eighties, and that sounds nothing like the stuff from the Nineties. Who's to say what is and isn't a certain type of music?

I'm into rock'n'roll because rock'n'roll, to me, means freedom.
