What is the world coming to?

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.

Johnny Winter is one of the best blues players in the world. He's very underrated.

The world is... the natural setting of, and field for, all my thoughts and all my explicit perceptions. Truth does not inhabit only the inner man, or more accurately, there is no inner man, man is in the world, and only in the world does he know himself.

You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.

Well concerning the world records that I did, I think it helps a lot to me, yeah. I think it's a very individual thing because I heard some people say, like, oh I don't like it at all. But I definitely, for me it really made a big difference.

Christians should never fail to sense the operation of an angelic glory. It forever eclipses the world of demonic powers, as the sun does a candle's light.

I do believe there are leaders who are like lightning and they come along and they lead. The Lincolns of the world, the Alexander the Greats, they do exist. They have existed.

The people of England are the most enthusiastic in the world.

You've got to realize. In the western world, regardless of what color you are, what title the music is, it's all played by the same notes.

Most fathers don't see the war within the daughter, her struggles with conflicting images of the idealized and flawed father, her temptation both to retreat to Daddy's lap and protection and to push out of his embrace to that of beau and the world beyond home.

Scientific corporations might well become almost independent states and be enabled to undertake their largest experiments without consulting the outside world - a world which would be less and less able to judge what the experiments were about.

To see a world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wild flower Hold infinity in the palms of your hand and eternity in an hour.
