Like most things that happen with Sabbath, it happened all of a sudden. I was intending on doing some recording, but out of the blue, Sharon called up and said she wanted us to do these gigs with Ozzy. I said that if everybody else was up to it then I would love to do it.
I prefer to play and lose rather than win, because I know in advance I'm going to win.
I've given it my all. I've done my best. Now, I'm ready with my family to begin the next phase of our lives.
