I don't read the Bible. Not because I don't want to, I just haven't got around to It yet. One day perhaps I'll pick it up and look at It.

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

I've had so much good luck happen to me that I can't handle bad luck.

When I was a practicing alcoholic, I was unbelievable. One side effect was immense suspicion: I'd come off tour like Inspector Clouseau on acid. 'Where's this cornflake come from? It wasn't here before.

At 18, if someone had said to me, "I think you should go to rehab and get cleaned up," I would have thought, "You're fucking mad."

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

I'm dyslexic, I have attention-deficit disorder, and I've got something like a hereditary tremor.
