“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.”

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!

That’s why they call it the present. And sobriety really is a gift… for those who are willing to receive it.

I can’t even read notes. But I can teach someone how to make a guitar smoke.

That’s what Kiss is all about – not just music, but entertainment, y’know? We’re there to take you away from your problems, and rock and roll all night and party every day for those two hours you’re at the concert.

I asked my daughter when she was 16, What’s the buzz on the street with the kids?
