I'm an out and out basic man and AC/DC are one of the best rock'n'roll bands in the world, doing things just to the basics, you know.
I've learned what works and what doesn't, which gives me confidence.
Live. Love. Smile. Hug. Laugh. Dream. Do. Create. Have fun. Be intense. Be audacious. Be unreasonable. Act impeccably. Breathe. Be you. Be different.

Self actualization is the oxygen for the soul.
Happiness isn’t some elusive treasure we chase after. It’s a state of being we need to PRACTICE.

We knew this would be a critical event for us.
We didn't deserve to win this game tonight.
