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.

My vocal style is called bel canto, which is an old Italian vocal style going back hundreds of years.

I'm a big cockeyed optimist. I try to accentuate the positive as opposed to the negative.

Baseball is played by all countries now, and softball, too.

Self-discipline is when your conscience tells you to do something and you don’t talk back.

I have loved Jesus my whole life, and it has been such a privilege for me. To be able to marry my work and God together has been such a blessing.

We have our own culture, our own community. A lot of people don't realize that. They just assume that deaf people are very unfortunate, very disabled, but no.

The problems of the world cannot possibly be solved by skeptics or cynics whose horizons are limited by the obvious realities. We need men who can dream of things that never were.

The novelist's obligation to remake the sensuous texture of a vanished world is also the historian's. The strongest fiction writers often do deep research to make the thought and utterances of lost time credible.

Each outing is its own game. You roll on your game plan. It is a different chess match each time you go out there. I just try to be prepared.

I get up at an unholy hour in the morning my work day is completed by the time the sun rises. I have a slightly bad back which has made an enormous contribution to American literature.

Only once in the last thirty years have I made a duplicate, and that was a watercolor from my oil picture now owned by the Layton Art Gallery, Milwaukee, called 'Hark! the Lark.'

You cannot be in your offices every day doing nothing... and at the end of the day you expect to be paid.

God's given me so much talent, and my height doesn't define my skill set. I believe that God has given me a right arm, and for some reason, even though I'm 5'11", to be able to make the throws and make great decisions on the field and all that.

The work I've done, I'm really feeling the effects of it.

If you feel like there is going to be an emotional reaction that won't be helpful to resolve the situation, anger or other things, disarm the situation in some way, and you can use different techniques to do that.

I'm not embarrassed by any of my music. I'll even own up to the old Backstreet Boys albums.

The complexity of a system is no guarantee of its accuracy.

In business, the competition will bite you if you keep running, if you stand still, they will swallow you.

If the death of Osama Bin Laden brings any peace to those who lost loved ones on that awful day in September 2001, that is a great thing. It is more likely, however, just a painful reminder of what was lost.

I failed at the biggest things there are in life. I failed in my health, I failed in my marriage, I failed in everything, and I've picked myself up and gone on.

What we usually consider as impossible are simply engineering problems... there's no law of physics preventing them.

And a child that's born on the Sabbath day

You can't choose between Love and Friendship. They're like a package: You either get both or you lose both

Every summer's mine.
