I didn't think anything we did was spectacular. I remember we thought, 'Let's just write some scary music.'

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.

If you can laugh at your mistakes, it's a good thing.

My son Jack just got out of rehab, he's 17 years old and he got hooked on Oxycontin and I'm just a little pissed off that he never gave me a few.

That is a vacation! It is the best time for you to be productive because you are not being distracted by work.

I just broke up with my girlfriend because I caught her lying. Under another man.

My one big regret is that I didn’t play on for 10 more years.

Mawah meenon ne le plus poohlala," I say with an affected bow.

Memorization of variations could be even worse than playing in a tournament without looking in the books at all.

If I am your leader, you have to listen to me & if you don’t want to listen to me, then drop me as your leader

Anything in history or nature that can be described as changing steadily can be seen as heading toward catastrophe.
