I'm not a big fan of TV. It's an unavoidable situation being Ozzy Osbourne, people want you to go on chat shows, and I'm not good at it. I don't feel comfortable doing it.

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.

Nothing draws people more quickly away from religion than an open mind.

A visit to the family farm in spring means witnessing growth and challenge and beauty and stillness all rolled into one.

If you could have walked on the planet before humans lived here, maybe the Ivory Coast would have seemed more beautiful than La Côte d'Azur.

My mother, oddly enough, really wanted to pursue a career in law, but at the time, she had children and was working as a teacher.

I am crazy as hell, but I know it. And knowing it is a kind of sanity that makes the sickness worse.

Riches attract attention, consideration, and congratulations of mankind.

In my view, stability only comes with a government that is elected by the people and works for the people.

I think I love my dreaming process because one of the things that my dreaming process does is sort out stories for me.

Hope for forces which you do not yet have.

If you don't believe it yourself your team darn sure won't.
