It isn't a band. It's bigger than a band. It's a lifestyle.

Ozzy has dyslexia.

It's pure Black Label. It's about violence and booze. That's all it is. There is no plan.

Chris Jericho is a great guy. He’s beyond hysterical. He’s good people. They’re really good. Chris wanted me to throw down a solo. He sent it to me and I knocked it out.

There’s only one Sabbath guitarist and he is the architect for everything, Tony Iommi.

Because with Black Label and all the fans it’s just one big family.

Any guy that’s not working with the same amount of intensity and passion that I do, I don’t want to know.

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.

You have to have passion for anything you do. Whether it’s sports, whether it’s music, whether you want to be Mother Theresa, you have to have passion for what it is you do, or what’s the point in getting up in the morning and getting out of bed?

Even when I played sports when I was little, I played to win. Otherwise, what’s the point of putting the pads on and going to practice? I don’t understand.
