I remember one night in Memphis, I'd come out of a blackout, and I didn't know where I was. I'm feeling through the darkness - I was asleep in the middle of a freeway. I went up to this car in the darkness, and it was a cop car.

Sometimes I'm scared of being Ozzy Osbourne. But it could have been worse. I could have been Sting.

I'll only retire in the day I should be dead and they have me buried, and some idiot spell over my casket some stupid gospel stuff.

I didn't think anything we did was spectacular. I remember we thought, 'Let's just write some scary music.'

I don’t know whose brilliant idea that was, but it wasn’t mine, that’s for sure.

Yes, I did bite the head off of a dove. Yes, I did bite the head off of a bat. It's a stupid thing to do, but I did it.

For years I've had neurological problems. I used to shake a lot and I was on medication - I paid about $700,000 for one year of pills. I was taking 40-odd different ones a day.
