I'd rather see twenty thousand smiling faces than twenty thousand crying people.

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.

Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most.

I got rabies shots for biting the head off a bat but that's OK - the bat had to get Ozzy shots.

Maybe it's not too late to learn how to love and forget how to hate.

Sometimes I'm scared of being Ozzy Osbourne. But it could have been worse. I could have been Sting.

It is indeed a desirable thing to be well-descended, but the glory belongs to our ancestors.

As an expert, I can deal with complex problems. As a mother it is much, much harder.

The deadliest sin were the consciousness of no sin

Politics make me sick
