Ozzy has dyslexia.

Playing with Ozzy was a dream come true.

It was like going to church, except Ozzy Osbourne was there.

Ozzy Osbourne is one of my favorite interviews, he's so good.

When Ozzy calls and asks you to go on tour, you say, 'When do I start?'

There's an innocence to Ozzy Osbourne. He's mingling, but he's somewhat detached.

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

I in no way, shape, or form envision myself as the modern-day Ozzy Osbourne - nobody can.

I have never said anything critical about Ozzy that he didn't say about himself many times.

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

I've banged my head quite a bit. I liked Iron Maiden, Ozzy, AC/DC. And of course, Ratt and Poison.

I think it would be fun to play a young Ozzy Osbourne in a movie about the formation of Black Sabbath.

If I'm playing with Ozzy it's just a guitar thing. But with the vocals I feel like I'm studying for the SATs.

Listening to Ozzy Osbourne at full blast always made me feel a little bit better. It made me feel like I wasn't alone.

You gotta give props to Ozzy as the creator of all evil faces. What would we do in photo sessions if it were not for Ozzy?

I was in a party band in the early '80s, and we played Sabbath and Ozzy songs as well as Rush and Van Halen... all that kinds of stuff.

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.

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.

I want it to be remembered that Ozzy was the first celebrity who was brave enough to open up his private life to the public. He was the first.

I loved working on '90210,' and I liked playing Ozzy because he was different from everybody else. And it was great because I got a great fan base.

Our family home, a large house in Hampstead, was sold to Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne. I remember being told that 'someone who eats bats' was buying it.

It's surreal to be hanging out on Ozzy's patio with him talking politics. It's so funny when people doubt that he's with it because he's a really sharp, smart guy.

In the past, I'd sort of know before Ozzy sang something, what he was going to sing. I'd know what sort of way a melody was going to go 'cause of the way he'd approach it.

I actually grew up on rock music; that's what was played around my house. I listened to Led Zepplin, AC/DC, Metallica, Ozzy Osbourne, Nirvana, Aerosmith - really almost everything.

My older brother was into Creedence Clearwater Revival and ZZ Top, and my sister was into pop radio. So somewhere along the line, I got into Ozzy Osbourne, REO Speedwagon, Heart, Pat Benetar, Journey.

When I was touring with Ozzy, you know, when I was with Manson, we toured with Ozzy, so many times, we did Ozzfest a thousand times, and, you know, it seems like I'm always playing with Ozzy in one way or another opening up.

I also did an Ozzy piece for him, and so I got hired. Everything happened really fast. I can't give people advice, because everything in my life changed completely in less than a year and it's still not something I am used to.

I once asked Ozzy Osbourne, truly one of my favorite people in the world, if he was cool with singing Black Sabbath songs year after year, whether he was performing with Black Sabbath or out on a solo tour. He said it was great.

I remember, in 1999, when we did the last Ozzfest that we were part of, and I think Disturbed was on it, Static-X, obviously Ozzy, us, and we were the only band on the tour that had a rider that had any alcohol. Nobody else had it.

Like most things that happen with Sabbath, it happened all of a sudden. I was intending on doing some recording, but out of the blue, Sharon called up and said she wanted us to do these gigs with Ozzy. I said that if everybody else was up to it then I would love to do it.

I've worked with all sorts of random people - everybody from Metallica to Britney Spears to Ozzy Osbourne to Michael Jackson to the Beastie Boys. I've got a really strange CV. It's interesting - I work with a lot of these disparate, different people to learn what it's like to work with random people.
