“Being in Black Sabbath felt like being an actor in a soap opera.
It’s a minor miracle all four of the original lineup survived beyond the 1970s, let alone that we’re all still here. Along the way, we consumed enough booze and drugs to sink a battleship. Music writers spent decades trying to tear us down. There were so many lineup changes I sometimes didn’t know what band I was supposed to be in.”

Though I didn’t show them to anybody—they contained the kind of stuff you’d hesitate to tell even a psychiatrist—they became the seeds for the lyrics that would come to define my career.”
