You're never going to learn everything.

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.

You know what I'm intrigued by? Like, space and wormholes and Stephen Hawking's theories and Richard Dawkins's theories. That's what I care about.

If our American way of life fails the child, it fails us all.

I'd like to work on job and educational opportunities for all.

I wanted something very dense, something that would sustain long and more pieces of wood that would be soft, sweet, for more of a mellow sound.

International business may conduct its operations with scraps of paper, but the ink it uses is human blood.

What at first was plunder assumed the softer name of revenue.

We need an unambiguous rule - a law - that nobody will step between the publisher and the consumer, full stop.

No-tech tourism is a form of temporal eco-tourism in which one reads books or watches film and TV precisely because of the absence of 21st-century technologies.

I'm a lover of songs.

It doesn't annoy me but I think of myself as a presenter who is gay, rather than a gay presenter. It's a subtle distinction, but that's how I view it.

Some deeper part of me wants to write comical dialogue; I'd be foolish to not follow that impulse. Now I recognize that if there's energy to a section of work, you go where the energy is. It's a living thing, and you just follow it.

Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass. Its about learning how to dance in the rain.

I basically was in charge of the Jackson 5 - all their creative, when it came down to the studio, and all their musical endeavors. I tried to create a Hitsville on the West Coast.

We may train or peek for a certain race, but running is a lifetime sport.

Cheerfulness is health its opposite melancholy is disease

Fans of the 'Inbetweeners' like the show because it is about four normal people, average guys or lower than average losers.

I'm finally just relaxed and comfortable with who I am.

Once I grew from 6'1' to about 6'6', by that time I was going into 12th grade, and that's when I started wanting to play basketball, because, pretty much basketball players always got the girl.

The sad truth is that societies that demand whistleblowers be martyrs often find themselves without either, and always when it matters the most.
