I asked my daughter when she was 16, What's the buzz on the street with the kids? She's going, to be honest, Dad, most of my friends aren't into Kiss. But they've all been told that it's the greatest show on Earth.

I don't see this planet being... they're talking about how they're turning around the environmental problems here, but I think it's already too late.

I'm the kinda person, you gotta fight for everything you get. You gotta believe in yourself.

Whenever I start to really think about what I'm playing, I may play it better musically, but the feeling isn't there.

People, y'know, they either love us or they hate us; there's no middle ground.

When you take a shower in space, you have to press the water onto your body to clean yourself, and then you gotta vacuum it off.

Every time Paul and Gene use my makeup, they have to pay me a royalty check. I think they changed the makeup so they didn't have to pay me.

Once you come and see Kiss, you either love us or you hate us.

I'm just a kid from Bronx who got lucky.

A lot of times, I played bass on songs. Gene plays guitar on some songs.

I went to my friend's house one day, and he had an electric guitar he had just bought with a tiny little amp. I turned the volume up to 10 and I hit one chord, and I said, I'm in love.

That's what Kiss is all about - not just music, but entertainment, y'know? We're there to take you away from your problems, and rock and roll all night and party every day for those two hours you're at the concert.

The guys in my band are good friends on and off the stage. The band members that I have now is probably the best band that I have ever had.

The bottom line is the Kiss Army is growing by leaps and bounds.

I had a feeling it was gonna work out because not only did I enjoy the music and hit it off with the guys, but I was into theatrical rock and was willing to wear makeup and do anything to make it.

I'm not here to perform. I'm here to sign autographs. You have to wait till I come back with my own hand.

Finding a good band is Iike finding a good wife. You got to keep trying till you find the right one.

I just didn't expect an acoustic version of Rock'n'Roll All Nite.

I think the fans really wanna hear the songs the way they sound on the record.

We're bigger now than we were in the late 70s when we were peaking.

I believe that the only way that the human race is gonna survive is to start colonizing space and setting up colonies on the moon, and then space stations.

As long as I know what key the solo is in, I try to kind of empty my mind and not think about anything. I just play without thinking.

I can't even read notes. But I can teach someone how to make a guitar smoke.

I think most of the people, once you see a Kiss show, you kinda get spoiled because I don't think there's anybody out there that's doing a bigger or a better show than us.

America is huge.

I'll get up there and I'll do my guitar solos in one of those space outfits.

One of the greatest gifts I've ever gotten is my daughter.

One thing I love to do is produce. I've produced a couple of bands. I mean, nothing ever really happened with 'em, but I enjoy getting a young band into the studio and guiding them, and making them feel at ease.

I've recorded 25 or 30 albums. I know that sometimes when you work with producers who are kinda dictators, it doesn't help you make a better record.

For me it's about the music, and it always has been. Maybe for some other people it's more about money.

I don't like to practice; I like spontaneity. When I don't play guitar for a week and I pick it up again, I play better.

I eat, sleep, and drink my character. It is my fantasy to go to another planet.

I have a lot of diehard fans. Ace Frehley fans and Kiss fans are the greatest fans in the world.

I knew I was destined to be a rock star. I just knew it, like I've always had the power of foresight. I feel right now exactly the way I felt after I finished mixing my first solo album 'New York Groove'.

I loved playing the guitar and I knew I was pretty good at it, so that's what I wanted to do with my life.

If I'm so popular, why did they replace me with Tommy Thayer?

My life has been a roller coaster ride, but somehow I've always been able to land on my feet and still play the guitar.

I personally believe this: We have only today; yesterday's gone and tomorrow is uncertain. That's why they call it the present. And sobriety really is a gift... for those who are willing to receive it.

When we started making electronic music I imagined that the reaction we got from the rock musicians must have been similar to the one the beat groups got from people like my dad.

It was tough at the time but when I was younger, my Dad. I would say my Dad, because without him I wouldn't have been here. I mean it was tough for me because he was really demanding. With him, it was never enough, you know, anything I did was never enough.

David and Dad didn't get along too well growing up. I mean we all got along, but it was harder on David, because David wasn't going to be the son that Dad wanted. But now they're like best friends.

Where I come from, you don't really talk about how much you're earning. Those things are private. My dad never told my mum how much he was earning. I'm certainly not going to tell the world. I'm doing well.

I feel lazy when I'm not working. I learned all my business sense from my dad. He always believed in me, and I think the last thing he said to me before he passed away was, 'I know you're gonna be OK. I'm not worried about you'.

And I love Mel Brooks. My Dad loved his movies, too, they're awesome, the kind of thing that if you're in for ten minutes, you're in for two hours.
