I have to eat in a way that's good for me.

The average life spans of many bands are not that long, up to five years if they are lucky.

My life would have been different without Paul Stanley or Ace Frehley. They would have to be the greatest on my list as an influence to my life at 11 years old.

It was by design that we mostly used pictures that you could not necessarily see what was going on, and that didn't really focus in on the band, but instead focused in on a theme.

Some people are still not into us. That makes sense. We haven't really done a lot of press. We haven't put ourselves out there in ways that a lot of people would know we are still around. Unless you tour or record, they don't know you are around.

My favorite rocker is Go because it is heavy and chaotic.

I feel very blessed we can still have a career making music.

It's extremely important to have a loyal fan base and be receptive to them.

I have lived most my life with chronic inflammation and constant pain with immediate diarrhea.

I have had Crohn's for about 19 years. It is a debilitating disease that affects my colon.

I love playing with Jeff. That's something I never really say in the press, but he's my favorite bass player. I've played right next to him for 10 years.

That's what music has always been to me: a feel. I've listened to the Stones many times and it still makes me have that feeling of joy every time. They are still around and put on a really exciting show. We also give it 120 percent.

I have to eat in a way that's good for me.

At this point, because we have stayed the same course for so many years, I feel like we are freer to make choices that are motivated by what feels right creatively at a given point in time.

It's always push and pull with a record company.

There are some people who have stayed with us our whole career, which is pretty cool too.

Other bands gave us lip service, but when it came down to it they kind of backed off. That was a little disheartening. But I respect them. That's their business.

And watching Ed, he's really coming into his own doing some new things onstage I've never seen him do. He's really getting into it, putting 120 percent into the show. We feel comfortable and excited.

I am constantly amazed at their support over the years.

But KISS inspired me personally to pick up a guitar and go for it.

I think our relationship with Epic had run its natural course, and it happened to coincide with the fulfillment of our contract. We decided not to resign with them.

There's Eddie's conviction and his lyrics and his ideals, and he can just rock straight out. His vocals are incredible. And we all are really competent musicians.

At some shows, the set list gets changed while we are on stage. I know Ed thinks about the set very hard throughout the day in order to make the best show possible for the fans and for us.

There's no time for regrets. You've just got to keep moving forward.

The life of a designer is a life of fight fight against the ugliness

People take sides on political things, such as the Vietnam War. War is immoral and war is wrong, but I don't think the clergy ought to bring it before the Church.

I was never tortured over whether I wanted to become an actor. There was never another option in my mind.

No, not rich. I am a poor man with money, which is not the same thing.

Negative things, and they were all deliberate and I'm not going to say who they were but I know who they were and it was in the business, and that's not a good sign.

I think I'm a story-based artiste. So I would opt for the performance-oriented role. I usually go by intuition while choosing a script. Also, I do not analyse my performance, nor do I bother about how my film has been performing at the box office. I personally love challenges and am game for taking up things which I haven't attempted before.

Drums all have their own particulars - each drum has a place where they sound the best - where they ring out and resonate the best, and the head surface isn't too loose or too tight, mainly so you get a good rebound off of the head.

Lose an hour in the morning, and you will spend all day looking for it.

Once I opened a book, I felt compelled to finish it. I was drawn into a world, and I had to know what would happen, how it would end.

Racism in Brazil is well hidden, subtle, and unspoken, underestimated by the media. It is nevertheless extremely violent.

I always interrupt work with other work, either in a small way or big way, so that's normal.

Heed not the night; a summer lodge amid the wild is mine 'Tis shadowed by the tulip-tree, 'tis mantled by the vine.

If I had nine of my fingers missing I wouldn't type any slower.

Once you have your characters, they tell you what to write, you don't tell them.

I believe in marriage and fidelity.

I knew very early on that I wasn't Brad Pitt.

2005 was a great year for me for fantastic roles that nobody saw.

And we forget because we must and not because we will.

I think laughter is the best medicine. If you can't laugh at yourself, then you can't laugh at life and the silliness of it all.

The first thing one notices about Jill Abramson is her short stature. The second is her intensity.

I want to show people how there are variations and different interpretations of good and evil.

The religious idea of God cannot do full duty for the metaphysical infinity.

I don't have anything to prove anymore. I can relax.

I used slam dunking as a tool for intimidation.
