We're playing the Superbowl this year, we're opening up before the coins drop.

Cool things happen. Ace's guitar flies through space, goes through a hole, and blows up. I throw drumsticks and they come flying at you.

What I love about being a member of KISS is that we're the 'John Glenns' of rock - we always have to be the first in anything we do, and I love that.

There's a lot of smoke being blown at you, but this is no new sport to me; I've been doing it a long time, I'm used to it and I see it coming immediately the minute it gets into our realm.

I deal with guys in their 20s and early 30s who are presidents of companies, who are movie directors.

The magic's back and we're in a time tunnel, feeling like when we were in our 20s back in the 1970s.

We're really in control; that's the difference. We were out of control then.

As busy as I claim to be, I've still got the greatest job in the world.

We're much more controlled now. We were kids back then, we each had our own demons. It was insanity.

I'm from Brooklyn. I grew up very poor- seven people, four rooms. My dad had no education.

Three times during the show the drums are lifted over the audience - I go up and out, right, left and back.

We're playing the Superbowl this year, we're opening up before the coins drop.

It's a younger generation running the show, and I miss the generation we had in the '70s. They were really very honorable guys, like Neal Bogart and Bill Graham, people who will never be around again.

I finally got a chance to talk to my daughter from my previous marriage. I just got married May 3 to my beautiful wife, but we don't see each other much.

For me, music is all about emotion and attitude.

I find myself evil. I believe in the devil as much as God. You can use either one to get things done.

I once had money to burn. I'd fly to Barbados for the weekend. I lived in a twenty-two-room mansion and had my pick of four luxury cars.

I think money, power, fame changes people a lot.

Musicians play music because you love... I loved to play drums since I was five. It's all I ever wanted to do. Rock stars, or as we call them, posers, guys who want to just look great, dress great. They're not musicians; they're looking for the fame.

There's not a day that goes by that I don't bless myself with holy water and then get in my car and rub the medal of the Virgin Mary that she gave me and say a Hail Mary for my mother. And then I kiss her Mass card that's right there on the dashboard.

When 'Destroyer' was first released, we got a strong backlash from our hardcore fans. After six months, the album was dead in the water. The critics didn't think much of it, either.

Writing novels is a way of living alternative lives.

There are things about growing up in a small town that you can't necessarily quantify.

Nothing in this world is harder than speaking the truth, nothing easier than flattery.

The great universal literature has always had a tragic relation with freedom. The Greeks renounced absolute freedom and imposed order on chaotic mythology, like a tyrant.

The creative act is not pure. History evidences it. Sociology extracts it. The writer loses Eden, writes to be read and comes to realize that he is answerable.

I leaned over the sink, closer to my reflection, and stare at myself hard. I don't know what I see. I don't even know what I want to see.

Deja Vu confirms a faithful path worth taking.

If we dont support Syria today, every country will perish in 15 years and a lot sooner will humanity die. Be prepared or be the revolt.

These woods are where silence has come to lick its wounds.

A woman doesn't just love a man. She loves who he is. And, who he is is dependent on what he needs.

Part of the film business is, if you want an apple, you buy an apple.

I think too many artists from my era tend to just stamp out a record.

I find it really cool when people have this artist persona they can put on. They can go out and act like this other person; I can't pull that off... I can't censor myself.

The writer knows his own worth, and to be overvalued can confuse and destroy him as an artist.

The only cure for grief is action.

Information storage has to take place at the unconscious level.

We need a strong, bold constitutional conservative who won't back down and who will fight for the values we believe in. That's what we need for our nominee, whether it is me or whether it is someone else.

Tribalism isn't a bad thing. If you're a Facebook user, or Twitter user or Foursquare user or LinkedIn user, those are all tribes... and they may even have sub-tribes. It's not pejorative, it's declarative.

Only tears can hear the sound of pain when warm blood reddens discolored stain.

I do one thing Gielgud didn't: I play the ukulele.

I feel about romance the same way I do about a vocation: it's a calling. You have an inner intuition, an inner 'yes.' I don't know if it's destined or not, but certainly I couldn't imagine being the person I am today without the romantic experiences I've had.

When you invest in high-quality brands, it pays off with high-quality audiences and, ultimately, high-quality advertising rates.

Excellence is the gradual result of always striving to do better.

I had been fortified by trauma, the way a bone, once broken, grows back stronger than it had been.
