I screwed my knee up once because I fell off the stage.

If somebody says they really like my playing I say thanks a lot.

One day my wife went and saw the accountant and said she's pulling the plug. She said you guys are done. I said, how bad can it be? 10 grand? She said you're not even close. It came out to almost $50,000 in alcohol for two months.

Any guy that's not working with the same amount of intensity and passion that I do, I don't want to know.

I screwed my knee up once because I fell off the stage.

Since day one my thing has always been to play the music.

Another time I cracked two of the vertebrae in my back and broke a rib.

We just done doing The Blessed Hellride tour and Ozzfest.

Back when I was jamming with Axl and the guys they had boxes of cassettes with song ideas. How do you know which ones you like now when you have that many ideas.

It isn't a band. It's bigger than a band. It's a lifestyle.

Another Black Label motto. That's what I think life is. It's just another bridge to cross. You ask no questions. Whatever work it is you gotta do, you gotta go over it, under it, through it, around it, to do it.

I feel sorry for these kids in bands. Everything is so disposable nowadays. These kids don't even get 15 minutes of fame, it's like a minute and a half.

Because with Black Label and all the fans it's just one big family.

Had an awesome time. You tell me to show up and all I have to do is drink beer, play guitar all day and I can lift weights and you're going to pay me for this!

We were sitting on the bus one day and there were 5 of us hanging out. There was only one beer left in the cooler and we actually all took a little cup and split it. It was a pathetic day in a rock and roll when five grown men have to be sitting there sharing a beer.

Ozzy has dyslexia.

I'm just worried that there's enough beer on the bus. That's the top priority at all times.

The way I look at it you can always get better.

That's why for Zakk Wylde's Black Label Society the colors are black and white. There are no gray issues. Life is black and it's white. There's no in-between.

It's pure Black Label. It's about violence and booze. That's all it is. There is no plan.

If I'm playing with Ozzy it's just a guitar thing. But with the vocals I feel like I'm studying for the SATs.

On the tour we get a case of beer on the bus every day from Ozzfest.

You're never going to learn everything.

If you bleed Black Label and you're going to be a man, you gotta get up there and do what you gotta do every day, relentless and as tired as you can be.

You never toot your own horn.

There's only one Sabbath guitarist and he is the architect for everything, Tony Iommi.

Chris Jericho is a great guy. He's beyond hysterical. He's good people. They're really good. Chris wanted me to throw down a solo. He sent it to me and I knocked it out.

The tours are campaigns.

I've messed myself up more playing music than when I played football.

Face your fear Accept your war it is what it is.

There is certainly no absolute standard of beauty. That precisely is what makes its pursuit so interesting.

I guess I fell into cooking.

I've always been able to sense the relationship between two people based on how one person says the other's name!

Psychics tap into what is collective: our regret and our sense of time going by; our common repression and anxieties.

Tyranny is defined as that which is legal for the government but illegal for the citizenry.

Life's a fight. It's a good fight of faith.

Each man has his own fortune in his hands as the artist has a piece of rude matter which he is to fashion to a certain shape. But the art of living rightly is like all arts the capacity alone is born with us it must be learned and practiced with incessant care.

You can take the boy out of Bombay; you can't take Bombay out of the boy, you know.

I resist the temptation to curate my apartment.

I find it extraordinary that this purpose which drove how we viewed the world is now considered to be something that has no effect upon us.

If you want to decrease housing costs in Norway, the most important thing is to build more.

Those were the great days when plenty of amateurs could spare time for cricket.

Lawyers are: By law's dark by ways he has stored his mind with wicked knowledge on how to cheat mankind.

People have said, 'Let's build bridges,' and frankly, I want to do more than that. I would like break to the walls of ignorance between East and West.

I love a red lip - red is one of my favorite colors, and I really don't wear many other lipstick colors than red.

A man who neglects his duty as a citizen is not entitled to his rights as a citizen.

Growing up, all I did was work and vacation, but I loved it, no one pushed me into anything. The thing was I developed no special skills. I don't have any resentment because I am a performer and I've always felt that, but it did take its toll socially.

Anyone taking heroin is thinking about taking heroin more than theyre thinking about anything else. Thats the general rule about most drugs.

I wanted to be a professional singer/actress, though I knew it would be hard.
