You never toot your own horn.

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.

My parents were never into films, but I hope to make them proud with my work some day. In any case, in Bollywood, your surname matters only till your first, second, or third film at most. Beyond that, you are on your own.

We can never prove that we're alone in the universe. But the Allen Telescope Array could prove that we're not.

Men have as exaggerated an idea of their rights as women have of their wrongs.

I didn't know anything about acting, I didn't know anything about theater, but I was just an exceptional student at high school. I wanted to play ball; I'm going after a basketball scholarship and be a doctor. I got injured and my marks began to drop.

There cannot be peaceful coexistence in the ideological realm. Peaceful coexistence corrupts.

I love 'Arrested Development.'

I am a Zionist.

One emerges as a better person after going through the wringer.

A domestic violence advocate can help you discern your level of risk from your abuser and whether you should get a civil restraining order.

A puck is a hard rubber disc that hockey players strike when they cant hit one another.

After I exhausted the blues thing, I got into jazz.

If you're sitting in your minivan, playing your computer animated films for your children in the back seat, is it the animation that's entertaining you as you drive and listen? No, it's the storytelling. That's why we put so much importance on story. No amount of great animation will save a bad story.

I don't understand capri pants. They seem like neither here nor there.

I was a star in Italy, Austrailia, Germany and Japan before the American stations ever paid attention at all.

There should be a childrens song if youre happy and you know it keep it to yourself and let your dad sleep.

Your beliefs don't make you a better person, your behavior does.

Boxing is a lot of white men watching two black men beat each other up.

The Santa Claus principle liquidates itself.

I had been quite judicious about the scripts I was reading, but nothing was really taking my fancy until I pulled this script out: 'Lucifer.' I have to say, within about three or four pages, I thought it was hilarious; I laughed out loud a couple of times and knew this is the one that I wanted to do.
