To be a liar, you've got to have a great memory, and I don't have a memory.

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.

Everything will work out... don't give up hope, remain calm.

How flat all sounds are at the seaside, flat and yet emphatic, like the sound of gunshots heard at a distance.

Noir is a court of human relations, and some crimes are beyond legal restitution.

Winners can tell you where they are going and what they plan to do along the way.

A poem is like a painting.

It takes time to really get to know someone. Take the time because in the early months of a relationship, both parties are in the "selling" phase.

My family is taken care of, I'm taken care of and that's all that matters to me.

Today should always be outlawed in favor of tomorrow

We had a church together. We co-founded and co-pastored the ministry, but Randy [White] was really a strong part.

The truth is that I am not a frump... I just enjoy being laid back.
