Be good and honest to your fellow man and try to do something good for somebody - thet's my philosophy.
One thing that does confuse me, is that there are more religions in this world than ever, yet there's only supposed to be one God.
Ozzy is a powerful and attractive man. When I grow up I want to be Ozzy.
How can you go on stage and shout 'Yeah! Rock'n'roll forever!' and then go to bed at 10 o'clock with a nightcap on, a candle in your hand and a Bible under your arm?
My philosophy is if you're happy being a born - again Christian, if you're happy being a Roman Catholic, if you're happy being a Jew or Moslem ... great!! I'm happy being Ozzy.
Rock music is not meant to be perfect.
I've been in rehabs with hardcore heroin addicts who say, 'I've kicked the heroin, but I can't let go of the tobacco.' I haven't smoked a cigarette in a long time. I like being clean now.
You're chasing the dragon, you're chasing the high. A bird with one wing, who's still trying to fly.
The most unbelievable thing about my behaviour is that I was convinced it was entirely f**king normal.
I've had every known chemical--cocaine, booze--and tobacco is the hardest one in the world for me to quit. You watch old flicks? It's suggestion by looking at something: You see a cigarette, and it makes you want to smoke!
Ten thousand million nightmares, temptation by the score, I used to get so high, and still I wanted more. You think my time is wasted in search of who I am, I tried so hard to kill the boy inside the man.
You can't kill Rock 'n' Roll. It's here to stay
I open the door for old ladies, I help old ladies across the road. I do a show for leukemia every year, but I don't broadcast that because it's against my image.
Let me explain something to you - you have not been standing in front of thirty thousand decibals for thirty-five years - write me a note!
