My view of life is, 'If you're going to miss Heaven, why miss it by two inches? Miss it!
I have lived a carnal life. My view of life is 'If you're going to miss Heaven, why miss it by two inches? Miss it!' I don't have to go through the thing of paying for it in the next life. I know I'm screwed in the next life.
I've never been against women. That anti-feminist rap is bogus. I think men should be nice to women, buy them diamonds.
It was like going to church, except Ozzy Osbourne was there.
