My spirit is bent and there's blood on my hands, the more I'm down, the less I understand.

Without a doubt, Eddie Van Halen is the greatest guitar player who has ever lived.

If I sit down with an electric guitar, what's going to come out are Sabbath/Zeppelin type riffs, but if I'm sitting behind a piano late at night, I might write something like 'Desperado.' You're not going to write 'Desperado' between a wall of Marshalls and thumping, crushing volume.

As much as I love heavy riffs, I like The Eagles, Neil Young, Elton John, Crowded House.

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.

Ozzy has dyslexia.
