Whenever Ozzy Osbourne opens his mouth, it’s gold. Beyond contributing vocals to the most iconic heavy metal band in history, Black Sabbath, the singer jumbles together strings of words far more perfect than anything that could have been pre-written. Check out the 10 Greatest Ozzy Osbourne Quotes!

A lot of these iconic quotes come from MTV’s The Osbournes, which helped define the somewhat despicable genre of celeb-reality TV. No show has ever done it better than The Osbournes, though, and the quotability of Ozzy’s many classic phrases has helped cement The Osbournes as one of the 21st century’s definitive programs.

The Osbournes gave us Ozzy’s “bubbles” tirade along with too many dog poop-related freakouts to mention. Of course, Ozzy’s heavily parodied cry of “Sharon!” still resonates with fans today.

Some of Ozzy’s past interviews generated some of the singer’s finest lines. Every interviewer ever has asked Oz about the bat biting incident, but our favorite comes from a 1982 sitdown with Night Flight. Another classic chat showcases Ozzy speaking of how he came up with a part for “No More Tears” while he was wasted off his face.
