Atlantic reckoned we should use a top Yank producer and appointed one Eddie Kramer to the post. It turns out the guy was full of bullshit and couldn't produce a healthy fart.

It keeps you fit - the alcohol, nasty women, sweat on stage, bad food - it's all very good for you.

I was in a band called The Valentines and they broke up last week.

We just want to make the walls cave in and the ceiling collapse. Music is meant to be played as loudly as possible, really raw and punchy, and I'll punch out anyone who doesn't like it the way I do.

I was married at the time when I first joined the band and my wife said: 'Why don't you write a song about me ?' So I wrote 'She's got balls'. Then she divorced me.

The more people they can give us upfront the harder we play.

I'm 33...before AC/DC I've played in a lot of bands in Australia. You're never too old to rock and roll.

What's a punk band? Hey, who's got a beer?

I've never had a message for anyone in my entire life. Except maybe to give out my room number.

Im more in love with Rock n Roll today than other things. It grows, you know?

I'm a special drunkard... I drink too much.

What if you wake up some day, and you’re 65… and you were just so strung out on perfectionism and people-pleasing that you forgot to have a big juicy creative life?

I'm obsessed with trying to recount events as accurately and honestly as possible, but in practice the only thing I'm really any good at is telling you how I feel.

It is a fallacy of the old schools to divide man into parcels, elements, thoughts, emotions, intuitions, etc. All human faculties consist of an interconnected whole.

I think in times of crisis it's the artists' responsibility to dig a little deeper.

It feels so exhausting to be so bad at something I loved so much.

It's almost always dangerous to be right too soon.

I knew the alphabet. Maybe I could be a writer.

Hey, I'm just trying to become the Michael Caine/Gene Hackman of my generation.

What does it matter how much we do if what we're doing isn't what matters most?

What can be my highest idea of forgiveness? Nothing beyond myself. Which of you can jump out of your own bodies? Which of you can jump out of your own minds? Not one of you.
