"The lifestyle I've been living for the last 30 years, I could have been dead a thousand times." "They say military have the so-called 'secret intelligence' -- this amount of intelligence must be very secret, since I've never seen any intelligent military person, nor I have seen any sense in the bloody stupid wars." "I'll only retire in the day I should be dead and they have me buried, and some idiot spell over my casket some stupid gospel stuff." (On kicking drugs and alcohol for the first time) "All I have to say is this. Sobriety F***ing Sucks! "The only black magic Sabbath ever got into was a box of chocolates." "My mother was an amateur singer, my father was an amateur drunk." "Sometimes I think my whole career and life has only been about a bloody Bat!" "I'm a very simple man. You've got to have, like, a computer nowadays to turn the TV on and off...and the nightmare continues." "A life of booze, drugs and unprotected sex is only going to f*** you up! I mean, look at me!" "I couldn't be a royal. It's like living in a supersonic goldfish bowl." "(Black) Sabbath were a hippy band. We were into peace." "Last year I sang for the Queen of England, met the president of the United States, and got an Emmy and a star on The Walk of Fame. And what did I do? I was just being myself." "Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most" "Could be worse . . . I could be Sting." "Viagra's a great sleeping drug. I take Viagra, and Sharon goes right to sleep." "LA's not a good place to grow old. It's a Paris Hilton-getting-fucked-up-the-arse kind of town . . . a town full of ambulance chasers." I have a genuine love affair with my audience. When I'm on stage they're not privileged to see me. It's a privilege for me to see them.
