Quotes
ADD QUOTES-
Ozzy: Dogs smoke in France!
-
Ozzy: I've been trying to stay sober for 22 years. Some days are bad and some days are great. I get up every day and I pray, 'Don't let me drink today.' I don't like it, but I accept the fact that I can't drink. It's hard, especially at Christmas. But all I know is I'm a very, very lucky man to still be alive and I appreciate that.
-
Ozzy: After Kelly was born, Sharon told me about a place where they teach you to drink properly. I said 'Oh, what's that - the pub?' She told me it was called the Betty Ford Centre. And I thought, 'That's it! I've been doing it wrong!' So I walk in, expecting to watch a demonstration of how to drink a Martini, and I say, 'Hi Betty Ford, can you show me where the bar is?' This receptionist is like, 'What?!'
-
Ozzy: I love you all, but you're all f*****g mad!
-
Ozzy: Being sober on a bus is, like, totally different than being drunk on a bus.
-
Ozzy: I knew it was time to get off of reality TV when someone asked me if I sang, as well as acted.
-
Ozzy: Antidepressants sure kill your sexual life...Now, THAT'S depressing!
-
Ozzy: I can honestly say, all the bad things that ever happened to me were directly, directly attributed to drugs and alcohol. I mean, I would never urinate at the Alamo at nine o'clock in the morning dressed in a woman's evening dress sober.
-
Ozzy: I got rabies shots for biting the head off a bat but that's OK - the bat had to get Ozzy shots.
-
Ozzy: 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?
-
Ozzy: 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. I'm always working on trying to better myself, you know? I think that that is an ongoing thing with me.
-
Ozzy: 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!
-
Ozzy: I bit the head off a live bat the other night. It was like eating a Crunchie wrapped in chamois leather.
