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.

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 cannot turn down this incredible honor twice.

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

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

What is the world coming to?

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?

I can't do anything in moderation.

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

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 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.

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

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

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

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.

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'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.

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

Rock music is not meant to be perfect.

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.

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

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

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

When youre young youre stupid. You do silly things.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Every shopaholic needs an accomplice.

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.

I would certainly choose my jobs depending on the actions of the character. I won't do anything that has to do with child abuse or women's abuse.

We expect teachers to handle teenage pregnancy, substance abuse, and the failings of the family. Then we expect them to educate our children.

What 'jazz' means to me is the worst kind of working conditions, the worst in cultural prejudice. The term 'jazz' has come to mean the abuse and exploitation of black musicians.

I want people to realize that the domestic abuse charges happened in 1989. I didn't meet any of them until 1993.

Terrorism is in good part an effective government propaganda; it serves to deflect attention from governmental abuse toward a mostly imagined, highly dangerous outside enemy.

So at the end of the day, our number 1 goal, our top priority, is to motivate American youngsters to reject the abuse of illegal drugs, tobacco and alcohol. All three of them are illegal behaviors.

The U.S. government has in recent years fought what it termed wars against AIDs, drug abuse, poverty, illiteracy and terrorism. Each of those wars has budgets, legislation, offices, officials, letterhead - everything necessary in a bureaucracy to tell you something is real.

Rape, mutilation, abuse, and theft are the natural outcome of a world in which force rules, in which human beings are objects.
