Ozzy Osbourne

If there's one thing I wish for in my life, it's that I could take it all back.

An hour is a long time in that fucking place, never mind three months.

The funny thing is, I was never much of a fighter. Better a live coward than a dead hero, that was my motto.

You can never take the violence back.

It's sad, y'know, what money does to people.

I hated those hippy-dippy songs, man. Really hated them.

I don't remember biting the head off a bat, but if I did, it probably tasted like chicken.

Being sober on a bus is, like, totally different than being drunk on a bus.

To be a liar, you've got to have a great memory, and I don't have a memory.

Rock music is not meant to be perfect.

You can't kill rock 'n' roll. It's here to stay.

People say it's hard at the top, but it's even harder at the bottom.

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.

I was a fucking crap burglar. I kept going back and doing the same job, over and over.

I might as well have tried to sell a turd.

I don't know whose brilliant idea that was, but it wasn't mine, that's for sure.

Pink Floyd was music for rich college kids, and we were the exact f**king opposite of that.

You learn who your friends are when the shit hits the fan.

The music business is like any other business, y'know? When sales are going well, everything's hunky-f**king-dory. But the second something goes wrong, it's all blood and law-suits.

I'd convinced myself that there was no point in even trying, because I was just going to fail, like I had at school, at work, and at everything else I'd ever tried. 'You ain't no good as a singer,' I told myself. 'You can't even play an instrument, so what hope d'you have?'
