Rock and roll is my religion.

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.

The only certainty is death.

Mathilde and Lotto held hands in the taxi going to brunch, communicating, not speaking.

Eleanor had never thought about killing herself – ever – but she thought a lot about stopping.

Part of the $10 million I spent on gambling, part on booze and part on women. The rest I spent foolishly.

It's a completely useless emotion - jealousy. I don't go there.

There is a noble forgetfulness-that which does not remember injuries.

When you are unhappy, is there anything more maddening than to be told that you should be contented with your lot?

I love competition.And I thrive on it. I love being able to win the room over before even walking through the door.

A modern and humane civilization must control conception or sink into barbaric cruelty to individuals.

If you think down, you will go down. If you think up, you will go up. You’ll always travel in the direction of your thinking.
