A foolish picture I live in disgust, degradation being eaten by lust.

Pink Floyd was music for rich college kids, and we were the exact f**king opposite of that.

If you can laugh at your mistakes, it's a good thing.

I got rabies shots for biting the head off a bat but that's OK - the bat had to get Ozzy shots.

Love and peace to everyone. May your God go with you.

There was a cinema called The Orient outside the community centre where we rehearsed in Six Ways, and whenever it showed a horror film the queue would go all the way down the street and around the corner. 'Isn't it strange how people will pay money to frighten themselves?' I remember Tony [Iommi] saying one day. 'Maybe we should stop doing blues and write scary music instead.'

Randy [Rhoads] was laid to rest at a place called Mountain View Cemetery, where his grandparents were buried. I made a vow there and then to honour his death every year by sending flowers. Unlike most of my vows, I kept it. But I’ve never been back to his graveside. I’d like to go there again one day, before I finally join him on the other side.
