Another time I cracked two of the vertebrae in my back and broke a rib.

Face your fear Accept your war it is what it is.

Whatever it is you love, and whatever it is that you want to do, that's what you should be doing.

You've got certain guys that just want to be famous and then you've got the real musicians that just love playing music.

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.

If you have passion for what you want to do and that's what you want to do, you've just got to bust your balls and go for it if you want to play music.

Sometimes girls would come in and audition and they'd talk down, and it was like, "No, no, talk to the human eye level."

When you got a job to do, you got to do it well. You gotta give the other fellow hell.

People should not have to pay for pollution they do not cause.

There is still time for endurance, time for patience, time for healing, time for change. Have you slipped? Rise up. Have you sinned? Cease. Do not stand among sinners, but leap aside.

At one time I thought that if I could really understand renunciation and bodhichitta from the depths of my heart, then, for this lifetime that would be enough.
