“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 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.

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

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.

Come on, Forney.’ Novalee, it’s a parasite.’ But it’s a tradition.’ It’s a parasite! And you expect people yo stand under it and kiss?’ Yes! it’s what people do with mistletoe.

The human race tends to remember the abuses to which it has been subjected rather than the endearments. What’s left of kisses? Wounds, however, leave scars.

On my football field, I know what bliss is. My team cuddles more than the missus. We won’t inject drugs, just oodles of hugs. I warm up my team with some kisses.

You can’t tell somebody to kiss your ass on a scooter!

I think the show has so many wonderful memories connected to it for lots of people. When fans come to see me at the Andy Griffith Museum they get so emotional. Some of them cry, lots of them hug me and some want a kiss on the cheek.

Sometimes kissing is better than sex. Especially kissing someone for the first time

At about the age of ten, my friends and I discovered the joys of sitting in graveyards drinking merrydown cider and kissing and stealing our elder siblings’ records.

You can no more keep a Martini in the refrigerator than you can keep a kiss there.
