In between his stuttering and stammering, Ozzy Osbourne can give some classic quotes, and here are just a few from his recent interview with Rolling Stone:
On success: "[The best part of success is] not doing a job that you don't really want to do. You can't say what I do is a job -- it's a gift from God."
On being a father: I wasn't so much of a dad as I was an extra delinquent child for my wife."
On one one of the reasons he has been able to remain sober for close to five years: "I was saying to Sharon the other day, 'Every one of my bad drinking partners are all dead.' No one's come back and said, 'Hi, Oz, it's cooler on this side. Come and join us.'"
On retirement: "People around my age go, 'I'm 65 now. I'm retired.' Then they die. My father got a bit of cash from the job he had, did the garden and died. And I'm going, 'That's a bit of an anticlimax after working so many years in a factory.' I ain't retiring. People still want to see me, so what's there to retire from?"
On recording a new album: "I would like to do another record. But it's wasting money. Nobody's buying."
