When you see all of these bands citing you as influences, it makes you feel relevant.

To do the Ozzfest again would be great. I'd like to finish with a final Sabbath album. You always feel that it is still a challenge.

It's totally produced now. It's almost like a conveyor belt of what metal's supposed to be like these days. It's not music to me.

I never try and sound like Sabbath.

Lately, I've been listening to some jazz albums. I love the new Pat Metheny album. John Coltrane. I still like good metal, though!

However long the song is was how long it took us to write it.

Ozzy wanted to get us back together. It's been 20 years. We did a couple of songs during his farewell in 1992 and that got the ball rolling.

The '80s were the worst period. You had these horrible pop bands growing their hair and calling themselves metal.

To me, Sabbath was always JUSt a really heavy blues band. That s all we were. We just took those blues roots and made them heavier.

The Geezer album, Black Science, had a lot of keyboards and it did not work.

When you see all of these bands citing you as influences, it makes you feel relevant.

Without a doubt, Ozzy is the craziest person I've ever met. Son of Sam is a close second.

I never picked a bass up before Sabbath started.

I've been perfectly happily married for 25 years, and have a nice life. Inane things don't interest me.

What I used to play was rhythm guitar before I saw Jack Bruce. I said, That's what I want to do in life. He was definitely the main influence.

I don't feel a lack of hope. It's just disappointment that after all these years we're still fighting meaningless wars for a handful of people.

Toward the later days of Sabbath, instead of going in and knocking out what songs we did in rehearsal, we would polish them to death.

I like to deal in the reality of life. I'm too old to sing about women and things like that.

I would not want to write something about something I do not think about.

If you are a pop band, don't say you're a metal band. Poison and Warrant were about as metal as the Backstreet Boys.

It seems like the older bands are bigger than ever. We get a mixed crowd where you have kids and old blokes like me.

I love soccer. That's all I ever watch. I'll watch it all day if I can. But I'm too bloody old to play now.

We were into Hendrix and Cream, who were like the heaviest bands around at that time. We just wanted to be heavier than everybody else!

Black Sabbath was written on bass: I just walked into the studio and went, bah, bah, bah, and everybody joined in and we just did it.

Jack Bruce, as soon as I saw him, it changed me. I didn't even know what bass players did until I saw Cream.

It doesn't matter who you vote for. It's still the same billionaires that run the world.

I was so frustrated in Sabbath after the last few albums. I just didn't like the musical direction Sabbath was going in.

If you polish things too much, it loses the feeling.

It doesnt matter who you vote for. Its still the same billionaires that run the world.

I think, for one thing, all of us remember those teenage years and those songs that we fell in love with and the music scene that we were part of. So, in a certain way, music cuts through time like almost nothing else. You know, it makes us feel like we're back in an earlier moment.

Love your body. Exercise for 10-15 minutes daily.

The Lord, Jesus Christ, is our perfect example of patience.

It is not the stongest person who wins in life but it is the most nimble flexible and adaptive person who wins in life.

It is extraordinary that when you are acquainted with a whole family you can forget about them.

I'm too old to do crazy things anymore.

I look forward to doing everything I can in my new role to help bring more and more of the best talent and best ideas from Silicon Valley and across the nation into government.

Too many people spend money they haven't earned, to buy things they don't want, to impress people that they don't like.

I am not the first person to give birth naturally. Billions of other women have come before me and have done this - so why can't I do it?

Nobody ever did, or ever will, escape the consequences of his choices.

Surely there comes a time when counting the cost and paying the price aren't things to think about any more. All that matters is value - the ultimate value of what one does.

Yes, I wear a number of hats. But my most important title is mom and wife.

I think if a movie makes you cry, you probably needed to cry.

I was never pretty enough to be the pretty girl and I was never quirky enough to be the quirky girl. Boys didn't look at me in high school and think I was the pretty girl.

I've enjoyed the opposite sex a lot. Always have. Always will.

Successful investing is about managing risk, not avoiding it.

Neglecting small things under the pretext of wanting to accomplish large ones is the excuse of a coward.

In almost every profession whether it's law or journalism, finance or medicine or academia or running a small business people rely on confidential communications to do their jobs. We count on the space of trust that confidentiality provides. When someone breaches that trust, we are all worse off for it.

When the weather is really hot, I tend to live in denim cut-offs.

I became kind of a drop-out in science after I came back to America. I wanted to photograph.
