Ten thousand million nightmares, temptation by the score, I used to get so high, and still I wanted more. You think my time is wasted in search of who I am, I tried so hard to kill the boy inside the man.

International rock star - gravy maker extraordinaire.

The most unbelievable thing about my behaviour is that I was convinced it was entirely f**king normal.

I didn’t have a clue what love was about until I met Sharon.

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

My philosophy is if you're happy being a born - again Christian, if you're happy be­ing a Roman Catholic, if you're happy being a Jew or Moslem ... great!! I'm happy being Ozzy.

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.
