Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most.
People say to me, you have not got stage fright. And if I haven't got stage fright, then I'm going to be comfortable within myself, and then something - I've always been that way and so I'm fighting to get away from that fear.
It's all part of my journey - I've done a lot of stupid things, but you learn by your mistakes.
When I was doing drugs and alcohol, I thought I'll have a drink and a line of this and I'll smoke this. I didn't go, 'Then I'm going to go out and get drunk, come back strangle my wife and wake up in jail on charges of attempted murder,' but that's what happened. I'm not telling people what to do. If they can enjoy doing it and they get on with it and they can handle it fine, but don't involve me. I'm lucky to be alive; you're playing with Russian roulette.
My son Jack just got out of rehab, he's 17 years old and he got hooked on Oxycontin and I'm just a little pissed off that he never gave me a few.
When I heard The Beatles, I said, 'That's it. That's what I want to be. I want to be a Beatle.'
Tony Iommi - the undisputed king of demonic heavy rock riffs. In this area, no one had never surpassed him.
Drugs and alcohol were ruling my life. I made a lot of bad decisions while I was drinking alcohol. The first thing I stopped was cigarettes and tobacco.
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'm just a dreamer I dream my life away i'm just a dreamer Who dreams of better days
Being sober on a bus is, like, totally different than being drunk on a bus.
If you choose to criticize, you choose your enemies.
When you’re in love, it’s not just about the messing around in the sack, it’s about how empty you feel when they’re gone.
I'm out doing my deal, I'm turning people on. What's wrong with taking people away from their everyday mundane situation and having a good, fun night for an hour and a half at a rock'n'roll scene?
