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

The birth of a doubt that was once your belief is drowning in the tears that you cry.

I kept hearing that metal is dead and Ozzy's dead and people that like Ozzy are dead. I have never had an empty seat. I've always sold out, so who's saying it's all over?

L.A.'s not a good place to grow old.

I have a saying. 'Never judge a book by its cover'. I say that because I don't even know who Ozzy is. I wake up a new person every day.

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 have no faith in my ability to judge things.
