If you go out for a drink, you go out for a drink. You don't think, 'I'll have a few pints. I'll piss up this shrine.'

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.

Be a butterfly and always look for kindness, softness and beauties.

The Son of God became man so that we might become God.

He that cannot obey, cannot command.

I have had to learn the simplest things last. Which made for difficulties.

I am a Communist, certainly, but that doesn't mean I have to make films about the wheat harvest.

I think that if you don't like something and it's not easy, you shouldn't be doing it.

If you're going to retire, retire early.

To live, to have so much ambition, to suffer, to cry, to fight and, at the end, forgetfulness ... as if I had never existed.

People figure because I'm blonde and was a model, I just waltzed into Los Angeles and got major roles in major films.

By coming out to ourselves, we free up the energy we spent keeping a part of ourselves hidden.
