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 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.

Cruel people are not only people who kill innocent people with guns. Individuals who steal from government coffers to enrich themselves at the expense of the poor are grossly cruel.

New hope, new dreams.

I had to hold my head up high and put a bold face on things, but the thoughts keep coming anyways.

Reimbursement may be sometimes small, but then great ability can never be measured by the tickets at the gate.

Spring and fall, those are very inspiring times of the year for me.

Will and energy sometimes prove greater than either genius or talent or temperament.

You can't think for other people. Nor can you feel for them or be them. They have to do that for themselves.

There are some religious traditions that view human beings as participants in creation. This is true of the Jewish tradition, from which I come.

Hollywood works continually to keep its standard of contempt for the audience.

My valour is certainly going! - it is sneaking off! - I feel it oozing out as it were at the palms of my hands!
