When you catch him in the right mood, Ozzy is surprisingly intelligent and lucid and has some real insights to offer. People usually go into interviews with him expecting a shambling party oaf, though, so that's what he gives them. But I've seen him in quiet moments backstage and he's a really nice old guy.

maybe as it's a "making of" doc -- and ozzy's not really the primary riff creator or wordsmith? -- he kind of pulls back into a jokey goodball mode a bit in this context: in the end tony is a muso and can talk about that when necessary but geezer and bill are p sharp abt the politics of the times, and absolutely clear abt what they thought

obviously geezer was also reading up on the occult non-stop lol and plus he comes across as fairly shy?

geezer: "sometimes ozzy just says a single word, and i think that's good! and go away and write a whole song round it"

OTM on Bill Ward and Geezer Butler. On the other hand, Tony Iommi always seems kind of dull, like he doesn't have anything to say if it doesn't involve guitars and recording studios etc, he reminds me of Jeff Lynne!
