Ozzy Osbourne

I have a saying. 'Never judge a book by its cover'. I say that because I don't even know who Ozzy is. I wake up a new person every day.

Somebody said to me this morning, 'To what do you attribute your longevity?' I don't know. I mean, I couldn't have planned my life out better. By all accounts I should be dead! The abuse I put my body through: the drugs, the alcohol, the lifestyle I've lived the last 30 years!

Whenever I have a bad day I just think of these people.

A Christian man is a man who is within himself who puts out good vibes.

Being sober on a bus is, like, totally different than being drunk on a bus.

I got rabies shots for biting the head off a bat but that's OK - the bat had to get Ozzy shots.

I can't do anything in moderation.

When youre young youre stupid. You do silly things.

Being sober on a bus is like totally different than being drunk on a bus.

I knew it was time to get off of reality TV when someone asked me if I sang as well as acted.

I wish I didn't have to perform 'Iron Man' every night.

Whats the future of mankind How do I know I got left behind.

I couldn't be a royal. It's like living in a supersonic goldfish bowl.

Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most.

Rock music is not meant to be perfect.

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

You can't kill Rock 'n' Roll. It's here to stay

I'm a very simple man. You've got to have, like, a computer nowadays to turn the TV on and off... and the nightmare continues.

I cannot turn down this incredible honor twice.

They say military have the so-called 'secret intelligence' - this amount of intelligence must be very secret, since I've never seen any intelligent military person, nor I have seen any sense in the bloody stupid wars.

What is this? It's music to get a brain seizure by.

Maybe it's not too late to learn how to love and forget how to hate.

I used to fantasize that Paul McCartney would marry my sister.

I'll only retire in the day I should be dead and they have me buried, and some idiot spell over my casket some stupid gospel stuff.

Every shopaholic needs an accomplice.

You gotta be really careful what you bite off. Don't bite off more than you can chew. It's a dangerous world.

I have a genuine love affair with my audience. When I'm on stage they're not privileged to see me. It's a privilege for me to see them.

I am a raging alcoholic and a raging addict and I didn't want to see my kids do the same thing.

I'm about caring, I'm about people, and I'm about entertaining people. I'm a family man. A husband. A father. I've been a lot of other things over the years, which we don't really want to talk about.

I'm dyslexic, I have attention-deficit disorder, and I've got something like a hereditary tremor.

It's all part of my journey - I've done a lot of stupid things, but you learn by your mistakes.

L.A.'s not a good place to grow old.

What is the world coming to?

All rehab can do is tell you what's wrong with you and then suggest ways for you to get better.

None of us is perfect. Everyone has got a skeleton in the closet that they don't want people to find out. I just let it go, with a bit of humor.

When you're young, you're stupid. You do silly things.

All that stuff about heavy metal and hard rock, I don't subscribe to any of that. It's all just music. I mean, the heavy metal from the Seventies sounds nothing like the stuff from the Eighties, and that sounds nothing like the stuff from the Nineties. Who's to say what is and isn't a certain type of music?
