Phil Rudd

“I was just at home walking around at home, and I started feel, well, just funny. You know how you can feel funny? I had a strange pain in my chest. So my housekeeper took me to the hospital, when they hooked me up and did all these tests turned out I had a big heart attack.”

“I just play drums, mate.”

“My style just is what it is and it's pretty obvious what it is. People seem to like it.”

“I don't need to practise. The only thing I need to do is build up my match fitness.”

“I suffer anxiety and a lot of insecurities, depression and stuff.”

“I'm going back to work with AC/DC, I don't care who likes it or who doesn't.”

“For years I have really wanted to create my own special dining experience that people never forget.”

“I'm the best live rock drummer. That's what I think of myself. That's who I am. I can't help it.”

“You're more likely to find me at home in the evenings watching 'Brooklyn Nine Nine.'”

“I won't ever play something just for the sake of playing it, why would I do that?”

“I was doing hard personally and did some things I probably shouldn't have done. We've all got our cross to bear.”

“I've grown up, but not grown old; I hope there's a difference.”

“I don't get bored. In the music business you get used to a lot of waiting around.”

“I'll give up smoking when I die, and I'll settle down when I die. Until then, I'm gonna have a good time.”

“With AC/DC, if you've got a problem, you sort it out yourself.”

“I was back on the road for three tours, worked harder than a Bering Sea fisherman, and I made a lot of money and thought I would buy a helicopter.”

“But I don't really want to play with Axl Rose.”

“There's a couple of fills on the 'Head Job' album. The title track sounds huge, I love it, and there's a few fills in there.”

“Playing with Angus and Malcolm, that's a pretty tough gig, mate. That made me the maniac that I am today, no doubt.”

“I've realized who I am and what I can do and I just want a chance to go out there and show everyone who the man is. I'm the man.”
