You can’t kill Rock ‘n’ Roll. It’s here to stay.
God is within you. God is a nice feeling. He’s the flowers and smells and the nice things in life.
Chocolate thickens the saliva, which isn’t good news if you’ve gotta recite Shakespeare or sing Iron Man. Having said that, you’re not supposed to drink tea either but I still do before gigs. It’s not very rock and roll, but it’s like a magic potion to me.
I’m a lunatic by nature, and lunatics don’t need training – they just are.
Occasionally, I go off the rails. I once nearly killed somebody once – it wasn’t funny. I am a lunatic. The pressure of work, the pressure – everyone has a stop valve, and I don’t have one.
Destiny planned out, I don’t need no hand out.
You can choose, don’t confuse, win or lose, it’s up to you.
You can never take the violence back.
I’m like a junky without an addiction.
I don’t know whose brilliant idea that was, but it wasn’t mine, that’s for sure.
I am a raging alcoholic, but I don’t want my kids to do the same.
You’ve got to believe in yourself, or no one will believe in you. Imagination is like a bird on the wing, flying free for you to use.
I remember one night in Memphis, I’d come out of a blackout, and I didn’t know where I was. I’m feeling through the darkness – I was asleep in the middle of a freeway. I went up to this car in the darkness, and it was a cop car.
I’m not a musician – I’m a ham.
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!
Life’s not all about money.
The road to nowhere leads to me.
It was such an amazing time for music in the Sixties. When popular music hit me, it was like magic was in the air.
I got rabies shots for biting the head off a bat but that’s OK – the bat had to get Ozzy shots.
Mental wounds not healing, who and what’s to blame. I’m going off the rails on a crazy train.
