As much as I love heavy riffs, I like The Eagles, Neil Young, Elton John, Crowded House.

It isn't a band. It's bigger than a band. It's a lifestyle

I knew that I was going to dedicate my life to music and that was it.

If you have passion for what you want to do and that's what you want to do, you've just got to bust your balls and go for it if you want to play music.

If I'm playing with Ozzy it's just a guitar thing. But with the vocals I feel like I'm studying for the SATs.

It's just a natural progression. You're a player, then you're a coach, then you're general manager for the team, and then the next logical step for me and you would be [to become] team owner.

The one thing about the music business is that there is no rulebook. It's not like the NFL or something where there's four downs to get ten yards or baseball where it's three strikes and you're out.
