I do my best to limit the amount of compromise in my life so I have more time to do what I want. Not hanging out with many people really helps. I am not a people person and I spend a great deal of time on my own and in this environment, I get a lot done.
Too sick and freaked out not to want a bullet for every passer by, too sick and freaked out to breathe, too sick and freaked out to care, too sick and freaked out to think of anything but the annihilation of my mind and denial of my life. So sick and freaked out that I think everyone is my friend.
I shoved three CDs up my ass and got them out of Tower Records. It hurt like hell but I did it. New Michael Bolton, new Sting, and the best of Sammy Hagar. Totally painful. Definitely worth it.
Florida Highway, 1986. Lonely slum. I passed through on low wheels. It was hot outside. Shacks, gas stations that didn’t work, dead corn in fields, children on the road, retarded and dulled by the heat. Two girls waved as I passed.
I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds
There’s one thing about Black Sabbath which should not be understated: If Black Sabbath is missing any one of its members it’s no longer Black Sabbath.
All by yourself, unable to express the pain of your distress with your deeper inside. You alienate yourself and everybody else.

We all learn lessons in life. Some stick, some don’t. I have always learned more from rejection and failure than from acceptance and success.
Strength is the product of struggle; you must do what others don’t to achieve what others won’t.
It’ll destroy you if you try to make it mean anything to anyone but yourself.
I will never say the things that I want to say to you. I know the damage it would do. I love you more than I hate my loneliness and pain.
When I write lyrics, it’s only when I’m angry or hurt or sad. So lyrically it’s never really easy going. And the music is always really intense.
No such thing as spare time, no such thing as free time, no such thing as down time. All you got is life time. Go.
The bible saw that can get a lot of people killed, so let’s try and steer people away from that. I am not an expert on the bible. I am just saying.
Pizza makes me think that anything is possible.
When you start to doubt yourself the real world will eat you alive.
Once you say something, it stays said. I apologized to anyone who may have been hurt by what I said, and I really meant it. I am absolutely not interested in hurting anyone, or being mean or insensitive.
