“There’s alligators all over the place, but it’s funny, you kind of get used to them. And I’m like: ‘Aye, that’s the fourth one. So they all run out and buy a rod and they’ll say: ‘Oh, look at this one’. But people come down and look in the water and they’re like: ‘Fuckin’ hell, Jonna, look at the size of them fish’. You can go to the bottom of me garden and I’ve got a small dock – no boat, mind. I cannot figure out the fascination of standing with a stick in your hand. I’d rather pull me own teeth than go fishing. “I might live near the sea but I fucking hate fishing. It doesn’t feel like you’re thousands of miles away." We’ve got the satellite TV so I have all the games on. Not that it’s any good, mind – I only get it for the football. And read me Daily Mail, which I get daily over here. But I get up and like to have me cup of coffee sitting on the step outside and watch the sunrise. I used to get up at five when I used to go to work. I get up at eight, which isn’t that early. “I love to get up early, cos I’m dead lucky having one of the best sunrises in the world. Fuckin’ hell, they all taste like gravy with a bit of red in it! But I try to turn me hand to owt when it comes to cooking – barbecuing, steaks… owt. You cannot get a good pasta sauce in England. I make a mean Osso Bucco, and I’m very proud of me pasta sauce. And Maurice, me brother, is the chef for the band. And she cooks once a month in this huge cellar they’ve got, to 120 invited guests who come from all over Italy and Europe. Me cousin Maura lives in Italy – cos I’m half Italian – in Castel Gandolfo, near Frascati, which is near Rome. I’m always looking at me watch and going: ‘Fuck me, is that the time?’. But I just never seem to have enough time to do anything and I can’t figure out why, cos I’m a lazy cunt. I find it fascinating and it really interests me. First World War and Elizabethan are my big things. Military history is something I’m pretty big on. I read me Harry Potter books, ya know, ha-ha. “As far as films and books and stuff, I’m pretty much the same as every other person. But it’s fun, you know, creating something from nowt. Or if I think of a few lines I just whack ’em down, and maybe later on I’ll pick ’em up and start writing. I can’t write music, I just use me little recorder and hum a tune. “At home I’ve got me little office where I like to write me songs. I’ve had a couple of nasty spills and had to be cut out of the wreckage, but they’re built so well these days you’re fine. Once you’re on the track, that’s it, you’re your own insurance. You can die out there, they don’t want to know. And there is no insurance, cos the insurance companies won’t touch you. “AC/DC’s management didn’t know I was doing it for the first four years. I was like: ‘What the fuck?!’ The guys from the Hard Rock are like: ‘Can we have the back of your car?’ And I’m like: ‘What the fuck for? There’s nothing left of it!’ "And I could see the wall getting closer and closer, and I somehow managed to wrestle the car onto the infield. I came into a turn, flat out at 145mph, and the whole back end of me car just lifted and snapped off and I started spinning. I was racing at Daytona in February, and I went out for a test about 9.30am. “The Hard Rock Café in Orlando are getting a new exhibit of some of my shit – me old race helmet and the back end of me car.
