In the Seventies I was so scared I wouldn't go on stage.

Do you want me crucified for my profanity?

I'd rather see twenty thousand smiling faces than twenty thousand crying people.

It was always fun in the early days of Black Sabbath, when I stayed away from heavy drugs. Then someone gave me cocaine and I went, "Hallelujah!" I thought I'd found the meaning of life!

I can honestly say, all the bad things that ever happened to me were directly, directly attributed to drugs and alcohol. I mean, I would never urinate at the Alamo at nine o'clock in the morning dressed in a woman's evening dress sober.

I am a raging alcoholic, but I don't want my kids to do the same.

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