Out of everything I’ve lost, I miss my mind the most!
Y’know, swearing is just part of who we are – we’re forever effing and blinding.
I wasn’t exactly much fun to be around. Being with me was like falling into an abyss.
My wife can sniff out a lie from six thousand miles away. And I’m the world’s worst liar, anyway.
When I slept outside in winter, it wasn’t unusual for me to wake up blue in the face with icicles on my nose. In those days, there was no such thing as hypothermia.
Sharon saved my life, Sharon is my life, and I love her. And I was terrified that I was going to lose her. But as much as I wanted everything to be normal and right, I was terribly sick, physically and mentally.
I always thought that whatever I had was temporary.
I loved being a dad. It’s just so much fun watching these little people you’ve brought into the world as they develop and grow up.
I don’t want you to play me a riff that’s going to impress Joe Satriani; give me a riff that makes a kid want to go out and buy a guitar and learn to play.
I used to get upset by people not understanding me, but I’ve made a career out of it now.
Sometimes I’m scared of being Ozzy Osbourne. But it could have been worse. I could have been Sting.
Drugs and alcohol were ruling my life. I made a lot of bad decisions while I was drinking alcohol. The first thing I stopped was cigarettes and tobacco.
Maybe it’s not too late to learn how to love and forget how to hate.
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.
Tony Iommi – the undisputed king of demonic heavy rock riffs. In this area, no one had never surpassed him.
It was one of the greatest experiences of my life to meet Paul McCartney. It was phenomenal.
If you can laugh at your mistakes, it’s a good thing.
