"The things we've done ... When we lived in California, we had a house that we hired from John DuPont, who was famous for DuPont products, you know, the lighters and all that ... paint, DuPont painting It was his house. A fantastic house, it had a ballroom and everything.
"Anyway, we rented this house for six months and we made an album there, of course, we look in the garage and there are all these paintings."
"And one night, Bill came back angry again, so Ozzy and I decided to take off all our clothes, we got some of the gold paint and sprayed it from head to toe, there was also clear lacquer and we threw it out."
"It was a laugh ... And then he started to throw up, and he got really bad, I thought, 'Oh God, what happened to him?' Anyway, I had to phone the ambulance and they said, 'What's wrong with him?' I said: 'Well ... It was sprinkled with gold'.
"They sent an ambulance ... And God, they scolded us, they said, 'You could have killed him!' 'Because apparently, his skin could not breathe." They were convulsions, you know? "
