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

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.

The bottom line is the Kiss Army is growing by leaps and bounds.

I feel right now exactly the way I felt after I finished mixing my first solo album ‘New York Groove’.

She’s going, to be honest, Dad, most of my friends aren’t into Kiss. But they’ve all been told that it’s the greatest show on Earth.

I was never afraid to take that step, to see what I was capable of doing. Does luck play a role in success, particularly in a creative field?

I look at my kid, and one part of me wants to keep her as my little baby. But, y’know, the bottom line is she’s 18!

In this ordinary life without Ren, I think my life with him was like a dream. Especially on a snowy night like this. On a night as cold as this. Someone keep this guy warm for me, please.

Many things happened in my life, and I thought that they changed me. But in the end, nothing has changed since I was seventeen.

I think within a year or so, perhaps, if 9/11 had not happened, in Afghanistan would have been a very broad-based general uprising against the Taliban.

The Internet is the best thing that ever happened to China. It turns us into individuals and also enables us to share our perceptions and feelings. It creates a culture of individualism and exchange even though the real society doesn’t promote it.

I’m not what happened to me. I am what I choose to become.

But when the morning comes, I realize that there’s nothing to be done about what has already happened.

The loner – it can have a real impact on the art when they realize, I have friends, I’m married, or I have kids. That’s certainly happened to me.

Book clubs are the best thing that has happened to the world of publishing.
