“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 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.

I’m just a down-to-earth guy.

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.

I knew I was destined to be a rock star. I just knew it, like I’ve always had the power of foresight.

I never set my sights low. I’ve always believed most people are ruined by the limitations they put on themselves.

I’m just a kid from Bronx who got lucky.

I think the fans really wanna hear the songs the way they sound on the record.

If I had known I would influence so many guitarists, I would have practiced more.

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.

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 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.

A lot of times, I played bass on songs. Gene plays guitar on some songs.

Whenever I start to really think about what I’m playing, I may play it better musically, but the feeling isn’t there.

I eat, sleep, and drink my character. It is my fantasy to go to another planet.

Sure it does. But if you don’t have the balls to give it a shot, you’re destined to fail.
