Hating people isn’t a productive way of living. So what’s the point in hating anyone? There’s enough hate in the world as it is, without me adding to it.

I don't want you to play me a riff that's going to impress Joe Satriani; give me a riff that makes a kid want to go out and buy a guitar and learn to play.

Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most.

I got rabies shots for biting the head off a bat but that's OK - the bat had to get Ozzy shots.

Maybe it's not too late to learn how to love and forget how to hate.

Sometimes I'm scared of being Ozzy Osbourne. But it could have been worse. I could have been Sting.

If you can laugh at your mistakes, it's a good thing.

There better not be a God because I'll be in big trouble.

At the end of life, nobody knows where the spirit goes.

I try to laugh at whatever life brings.

Masturbation is good for the right arm.

So nice to be a fashion icon in my day.

Mostly, he taught me about friendship and selflessness and, above all else, unwavering loyalty.

I was the boy who liked to sing his own songs at talent shows, and I was suddenly officially uncool.

You'd never last in South America. Fans take their radios to the stadium so they can think what the commentators think.
