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

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.

The word 'career' and 'actor' really don't fit in the same paragraph, let alone sentence. There is no career structure for actors.

The best part about stand-up is that you control everything. Period. When you work in movies, or on TV shows, there are 50 other people involved.

Don't be afraid to be unique or speak your mind, because that's what makes you different from everyone else.

When the NBA adopted their uniform that they had to wear, I thought that was very interesting. And you see the way NBA players dress: It's very cool.

Nothing is so aggravating than calmness

One fails forward toward success.

There's nothing you can really do to prepare to rock. Do you prepare to eat a delicious meal? Are you hungry? Then you're gonna eat it.

Women should have choices, and women should feel good in what they wear.

When someone takes a private photo, on a private cell phone, it should remain just that: private.

A rumor is like a snowball: It starts small, but it can pick up mass and momentum as it rolls down the hill until what began in a hushed tone ends with the roar of an avalanche.

Any email that contains the words 'important' or 'urgent' never are, and annoy me to the point of not replying out of principle.

The great thing about comedy is that the longer you've been alive, the more you have to talk about and the better you get. I've got some miles and some road savviness that some other guys don't have.

I actually think I need 'Homeland' rehab. And that Ray Donovan. I think I've watched every episode more than once. Liev Schreiber, Jeffrey Wright and Jon Voight have made me fall in love with acting again.

Systems are going to get a lot more sophisticated.

I love baseball, and the door remains open.

I just can't feel lukewarm about a character. I either despise her, admire her, or don't understand her and want to understand her.

I wish I could remember where I put things. I spend half my life looking for my keys. With the other half I look for my glasses.

I remember meeting the likes of Johnny Carson and Jimmy Stewart for the first time and being completely starstruck.

Managers who don't lead are quite discouraging, but leaders who don't manage don't know what's going on. It's a phony separation that people are making between the two.
