Maybe we should write scary music.” That's when we came up with “Black Sabbath” . That was the fucking change of my life.”

“I've had this TV for 7 years, this is how it works. Power on - it comes on. Simple clicker, volume control - piece of piss. Works every time.... what the fuck's this? What am I doing? JACK!!”
