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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I did work out every day. I needed it to have the endurance to do what needed to be done and not get hurt. I have such a new respect for action stars now.

I mean the only thing that is hopefully good about us is after the arguments we can actually still face each other the next day or the day after and talk about something else and sort of get over it.

My favorite singer to this day is Nat King Cole. I've tried to emulate his phrasing. It is so absolutely beautiful to listen to his lovely voice.

I want to have babies one day but not right now. When I do it I want to do it really well. I want it to be my best project in life.

I think I've become a much better singer and a much better player. Years and years of playing a couple of hours every day will do that.

I am tomorrow, or some future day, what I establish today. I am today what I established yesterday or some previous day.
