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.

Phil Rudd

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.

Phil Rudd

Ringo is incredible. He's the greatest. Simon Kirke is great as well, so is Ian Paice. All of these British drummers from the '60s are great. They were big influences on me.

Phil Rudd

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.

Phil Rudd

Me, I love a steak.

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.

Phil Rudd

I just play drums, mate.

Phil Rudd

When I rejoined AC/DC in 1994 I hadn't played for about eight years.

Phil Rudd

I am a pretty strong person within myself.

Phil Rudd

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

Phil Rudd

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

Phil Rudd

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

Phil Rudd

AC/DC is a tough gig for everyone in the band.

Phil Rudd

I love Tauranga because it's got everything you need within reach. I can go out on my launch, moor it, have a shower, drive home and my hair is still wet. I can drive back out to the hangar to take my helicopter to run the Lambo on the track. The sun shines. The people here accept you.

Phil Rudd

No one's ever done what AC/DC did out of anywhere, really. Conquered the world, mate, that was the idea from the start. A little Napoleon in all of us.

Phil Rudd

No matter which way you do it you need to make something happen and get a song that makes you feel a certain way, whether that's making you tap your foot or beat someone up or whatever you're doing, you just need some passion about it.

Phil Rudd

I see a psychiatrist once a week and I'm closer than ever to my children.

Phil Rudd

I am not saying I never hope of ever playing with AC/DC again but, then again, is it even AC/DC any more? No Bon's beautiful voice. No Malcolm. No Brian.

Phil Rudd

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

Phil Rudd

AC/DC will never retire; Angus will never retire.
