In a 2014 interview with Classic Rock, Kilmister shared his thoughts on the art of songwriting, praising the Eagles for writing "good lyrics."
Kilmister went on to share his opinion of Dylan's critically-acclaimed songwriting skills, revealing, “I did like Bob Dylan. I thought he was great. But he was a great con man! He strung a lot of nonsense together and made it seem like it was really important."
Kilmister went on to discuss his own approach to writing lyrics, noting, "you should be careful what you say in songs because people ain’t there when you write it and they don't know what you meant. And I don't wanna pass on bad messages, you know?”

“He sent me a tape of the song with where he wanted the lyrics, and I think he gave me the title, but that was it," Kilmister said. “I'm good at that because that's how I write our songs. I come up with a title and then write the song around it.
“Ozzy and me were doing interviews in the same tent at a festival and this guy says, ‘Mama I'm Coming Home is the most personal thing you have written. Was it a big wrench?’ And Ozzy just points to me and goes, ‘He wrote it!’"
“I really had a good time writing songs for Ozzy because when I moved to America I was broke. I had nothing in the bank," he said.
Kilmister died in 2015 of prostate cancer. He was 70 years old.
