Happy Birthday Ozzy Osbourne!

I'm about caring, I'm about people, and I'm about entertaining people. I'm a family man. A husband. A father. I've been a lot of other things over the years, which we don't really want to talk about.

Von allen Dingen, dich ich verloren habe, vermisse ich mein Hirn am meisten.

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

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.

When you're young, you're stupid. You do silly things.

What is this? It's music to get a brain seizure by.

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

It's all part of my journey - I've done a lot of stupid things, but you learn by your mistakes.

MTV made a huge impact. Heavy rotation took you from selling 1m albums to 20m albums, and that meant a lot of dough.

Whenever I have a bad day I just think of these people.

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

I'll only retire in the day I should be dead and they have me buried, and some idiot spell over my casket some stupid gospel stuff.

Rock music is not meant to be perfect.

I have a saying. 'Never judge a book by its cover'. I say that because I don't even know who Ozzy is. I wake up a new person every day.

I cannot turn down this incredible honor twice.

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

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?

I'm a very simple man. You've got to have, like, a computer nowadays to turn the TV on and off... and the nightmare continues.

L.A.'s not a good place to grow old.

I can't do anything in moderation.

I have a genuine love affair with my audience. When I'm on stage they're not privileged to see me. It's a privilege for me to see them.

I knew it was time to get off of reality TV when someone asked me if I sang as well as acted.

Somebody said to me this morning, 'To what do you attribute your longevity?' I don't know. I mean, I couldn't have planned my life out better. By all accounts I should be dead! The abuse I put my body through: the drugs, the alcohol, the lifestyle I've lived the last 30 years!

You gotta be really careful what you bite off. Don't bite off more than you can chew. It's a dangerous world.
