“One thing I love to do is produce. I’ve produced a couple of bands.”

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

. I turned the volume up to 10 and I hit one chord, and I said, I’m in love.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

By the time I’m 40, interplanetary travel will be common. Nobody will want to talk to me at that age, anyway.

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.

I went to my friend’s house one day, and he had an electric guitar he had just bought with a tiny little amp

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

I knew I was destined to do a solo album, but when I did that first album in 1978, I had no idea it was going to be that well received.

I’ve never read anything about heroin where, yeah, it’s a good experience, and you can do it for 20 years and enjoy it, like having a cold beer. It doesn’t work that way with heroin.

I personally believe this: We have only today; yesterday’s gone and tomorrow is uncertain.

The band is tight enough. Quit practicing!

What’s a punk band? Hey, who’s got a beer?

We’ve been a band for 16 years. This is what you dream about.

I’m 90% performer, 10% musician. I’ve always said that Gossip are a band I would go see, not a band I would listen to.

History will tell if we were really a good band or just a one day fly.

The situation in America is when it starts moving there, all the bands from England move over to America and work from there, so that they’re available all the time for everyone that wants them in person.

We pride ourselves on trying to put on the best show we can and we’re not afraid to say that we happen to be the best live band in the world.

I have seen so many bands and musicians fade away, especially the ones in my early days that treated me and my bands with contempt for no other reason than that they were headlining the show, not all though, with great exceptions such as Slade and Vinegar Joe.
