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.

I knew exactly what I was, and there was no hang-up with me. None whatsoever. The fact that the pigment of my skin maybe being lighter brown than other people of my race, maybe some of them, but you know our race has all colors.

I think it's time to do clean-up for a generation. I believe this is one of the movies that hits home for all colors and all races. Everybody I talk to, black or white, suburban, rich or poor, can relate to rejection, can relate to not having a father or a mother.

There are infinite shadings of light and shadows and colors... it's an extraordinarily subtle language. Figuring out how to speak that language is a lifetime job.

Light in Nature creates the movement of colors.

The colors I choose there was to paint the first hotel, the Disneyland Hotel. Because of the cloudy sky we had in Paris, it had to be a particular kind of color who will fight those grey days. And also something you can see when you're driving up 'There it is! We're arriving!'

Lots of colors appear when you're working with other people.

Sixteen million colors in your palette are hard for any artist, especially a beginner, to turn down.

I've got no respect for any young man who won't join the colors.

The mind is like a richly woven tapestry in which the colors are distilled from the experiences of the senses, and the design drawn from the convolutions of the intellect.

It's ok to show all your colors.

Many a dangerous temptation comes to us in fine gay colors that are but skin-deep.

A hundred things are done today in the divine name of Youth, that if they showed their true colors would be seen by rights to belong rather to old age.

I am just learning to notice the different colors of the stars, and already begin to have a new enjoyment.

You don't want a million answers as much as you want a few forever questions. The questions are diamonds you hold in the light. Study a lifetime and you see different colors from the same jewel.

Twilight is about getting older and relationships - not about a murder mystery. It's about love when you reach a certain age; nothing is in primary colors.

Some colors reconcile themselves to one another, others just clash.
