Rock and roll is my religion.
I’ll kind of tend to beat myself up because I just want it to sound better than better.
I was always apologizing for yesterday’s behavior and I got tired of it. I feel it’s good being straight. As I did when I first got high. It’s a high to be straight because I was getting loaded every day.
I have a night off on Halloween. It’s Halloween for me every night. Let everybody else be Ozzy for the night. People go out dressed as me.
When you get to 60, the word “retirement” comes in on every conversation.
I open the door for old ladies, I help old ladies across the road. I do a show for leukemia every year, but I don’t broadcast that because it’s against my image.
A Christian man is a man who is within himself, who puts out good vibes.
I just suddenly thought, people really get off on being scared. They pay money to see green foam come out of people’s mouths.
I listen to some of the lyrics I used to write and I say, “Where was my head at when I wrote that?”
I’ll always be an outrageous character.
I don’t forget what I used to do and so I can’t justifiably say to my kid, “Don’t you do that,” when I used to do it myself.
Most guys my age are boring human beings. They sit in bars, get drunk, and then go home to tell their kids the way to rule their lives, while they’re absolutely stewed out of their brains.
I’m into rock’n’roll because rock’n’roll, to me, means freedom.
I can’t change the past, but I can try to make a better future for me...
As I’m getting older a lot of my friends I used to go out and party with, they’re all dead. The fact that I’ve been through that, I’m not proud of the fact that I’ve been through all that, but it’s part of my journey. I’m lucky to be alive. I’m lucky to be playing music.
I’d rather look good in my coffin than bad in my coffin.
I know that I’m here – I believe that I’m here for a purpose. I believe in forces of fate.
I’ve had so much good luck happen to me that I can’t handle bad luck.
The Beatles gave me everything. Especially Paul McCartney. I adore him.
My idea of what God should be is a good guy. I don’t think there’s any good in killing people in the name of your God.
I’m one of these people that always looks on the bad side of the fence.
