Ozzy Osbourne Quotes

I tried out that Buckethead guy. I met with him and asked him to work with me but only if he got rid of the fucking bucket. So I came back a bit later and he's wearing this green fucking Martian's-hat thing. I said, 'Look, just be yourself!' He told me his name was Brian, so I said that's what I'd call him. He says, 'No one calls me Brian except my mother.' So I said, 'Pretend I'm your mum then!' I haven't even got out of the room and I'm already playing fucking mind games with the guy. What happens if one day he's gone and there's a note saying, 'I've been beamed up?' [Laughs] Don't get me wrong, he's a great player. He plays like a motherfucker!

Howling in the shadows,
living in a lunar spell,
he finds his heaven,
spewing from the mouth of hell.

All that stuff about heavy metal and hard rock, I don't subscribe to any of that. It's all just music. I mean, the heavy metal from the Seventies sounds nothing like the stuff from the Eighties, and that sounds nothing like the stuff from the Nineties. Who's to say what is and isn't a certain type of music?

International rock star - gravy maker extraordinaire.

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

David Fricke: You were arrested in 1989 for trying to kill her in a drunken rage.

I keep hearing this [expletive] thing that guns don't kill people, but people kill people.

I just can't wake from these scary dreams.

Turn that thing off, its driving me mad!

I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired.

I never did this black-magic stuff. The reason I did “Mr.Crowley” on my first solo album Blizzard of Ozz, 1980 was that everybody was talking about Aleister Crowley. Jimmy Page bought his house, and one of my roadies worked with one of his roadies. I thought, “Mr. Crowley, who are you? Where are you from?” But people would hear the song and go, “He’s definitely into witchcraft.”
