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.

Hating people isn’t a productive way of living. So what’s the point in hating anyone? There’s enough hate in the world as it is, without me adding to it.

When you’re in love, it’s not just about the messing around in the sack, it’s about how empty you feel when they’re gone.

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 used to get upset by people not understanding me, but I’ve made a career out of it now.

The day here is a something without value, a mere torment suffered by living creatures as they await the night. Night is deliverance.

I wonder if Blue knows she’s repainting her room.I wonder if he’s asking if she wants a ride to the party tonight.I wonder if he knows what being strangled feels like.

The names are bigger, the show is worldwide, but I get a royal pass into life in the broadcasting business.

We can never do the right thing as long as we are out to please someone else.

The criticism is, once I get something flying, I lose interest in it.

A politician weakly and amiably in the right, is no match for a politician tenaciously and pugnaciously in the wrong.

All the wrong people are against it, so it must be right.

I'm not a creature of habit. I like to find things from unexpected sources.

Some Buddhists, however, never seem to get past the void, and I suppose I view this as a kind of Buddhist 'Old Testament' that I don't especially like.

I haven't had this much fun since the rats ate my baby sister
