The power of people, when they focus on something positive, never fails to amaze me.

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.

Don't judge a book by its cover.

Brave men rejoice in adversity just as brave soldiers triumph in war.

In programming, as in everything else, to be in error is to be reborn.

All I want to do, ever, is play chess.

My skin has turned to porcelain, to ivory, to steel.

Well I was an asthmatic child. So that for most of my childhood I was in bed. Bedridden.

Without the body, the wisdom of the larger self cannot be known.

Was there ever any domination that did not appear natural to those who possessed it?

Let me be serious: divorce is a sacred institution between a man and a woman who hate each other. God wanted Adam to pay alimony to Eve, not Steve.

That's how I always want to remember my time with you. Like a pure white light, breathtaking to behold.
