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

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.

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!

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

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