We're a rock group. we're noisy, rowdy, sensational and weird.

I wouldn't know any newer bands. We're past the pimple stage.

Yes, we're still five little people with a noisy attitude.

When I'm on stage the savage in me is released. It's like going back to being a cave man. It takes me six hours to come down after a show.

There are all sorts of cute puppy dogs, but it doesn't stop people from going out and buying Dobermans.

I'm sick to death of people saying we've made 11 albums that sounds exactly the same, Infact, we've made 12 albums that sound exactly the same.

I just go where the guitar takes me.

We're a rock group. we're noisy, rowdy, sensational and weird.

A lot of people say, 'AC/DC - that's the band with the little guy who runs around in school shorts!'

A lot of times you'll hear bands and it's a different sound coming out than what's on stage. Because you can clean it up through a PA and make it sound completely different than what they really sound like.

Actually, because I'm so small, when I strike an open A chord I get physically thrown to the left, and when I play an open G chord I go right. That's how hard I play, and that's how a lot of my stage act has come about. I just go where the guitar takes me.

Every guitarist I would cross paths with would tell me that I should have a flashy guitar, whatever the latest fashion model was, and I used to say, 'Why? Mine works, doesn't it? It's a piece of wood and six strings, and it works.'

I honestly believe that you have to be able to play the guitar hard if you want to be able to get the whole spectrum of tones out of it. Since I normally play so hard, when I start picking a bit softer my tone changes completely, and that's really useful sometimes for creating a more laid-back feel.

I never bothered with cars. I was probably one of the few kids in school who didn't run around with hot-rod magazines. As I would be at home fiddling with my guitar, they would be fiddling with a car engine.

I remember one of the first gigs I played with that amp was at a local church. They wanted someone to fill in with the guitar and my friend say, 'Ah, he can play.' And so I dragged the amplifier down and started playing and everybody started yelling 'turn it down!'

I saw Deep Purple live once and I paid money for it and I thought, 'Geez, this is ridiculous.' You just see through all that sort of stuff. I never liked those Deep Purples or those sort of things. I always hated it. I always thought it was a poor man's Led Zeppelin.

My part in AC/DC is just adding the color on top.

Soloing was pretty easy for me because it was probably the first thing I've ever done.

That's usually what happens with AC/DC: you make an album, and then you're on the road flat out. And the only time you ever get near a studio is generally after you've done a year of touring.

With AC/DC, we've always started with rock, and we've just kept it going. The critic's view is always, 'They just made an album and it's the same as the last one.' I'll have fifteen of them, anytime.

There are all sorts of cute puppy dogs but it doesnt stop people from going out and buying Dobermans.

We've become such a multitasking society that just paying attention to the road doesn't seem to be that important anymore. I have to remind my kids all the time that that's what you're supposed to be doing in the car.

My accountant worships me because I'm so cautious with my money.

Where might is mixed with wit, there is too good an accord in a government.

Entropy is the price of structure.

I don't know what it's like for a book writer or a doctor or a teacher as they work to get established in their jobs. But for a singer, you've got to continue to grow or else you're just like last night's cornbread -- stale and dry.

But I think the one thing that I can say about us is that we're very consistent about certain things and part of that is our desire to do the very best work that we can and not rest on our laurels, or not allow formula to come into what we do.

Women can stand a beating except when it is with their own weapons.

I take a simple view of life. It is keep your eyes open and get on with it.

I really think it is possible to make a very nice living by writing and not worrying about anything else.

You don't find me too bald, do you? Old, and bald, and with a belly?

The hard thing for me is to say no to people.

Capitalism has destroyed our belief in any effective power but that of self interest backed by force.

What I am doing is not acting. I am playing myself.

I had no confidence at school. I was not a good student and I really thought I was pretty stupid. Just dumb.

A man that is young in years may be old in hours if he has lost no time.

Meeting the deadlines is not good enough beating the deadlines is my expectation.

I've had great luck with directors. I've worked with all the great ones.

'Tis not enough to help the feeble up, but to support them after.

If you want an accounting of your worth, count your friends.

What I learned is, don't forget who you are, because that's what's going to make you a filmmaker.

I can definitely tell when mum has got money because then she likes to go shopping to spend it, whereas dad is steadier and avoids splurges. I like to think I've inherited both sides.

American policies toward Asians reached a nadir in 1924, with the implementation of a law that sought 'to preserve the idea of American homogeneity' and denied admission to the country to most non-whites. Immigration from Asia was banned completely, with the establishment of an 'Asiatic Barred Zone.'

No man likes to be surpassed by those of this own level.

A lot of people don't think I'm English. I've lived in France, and people do think I'm French, but I don't see myself as having a glamorous look.
