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 asked my daughter when she was 16, What's the buzz on the street with the kids? 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'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 eat, sleep, and drink my character. It is my fantasy to go to another planet.
A lot of times, I played bass on songs. Gene plays guitar on some songs.
I just didn't expect an acoustic version of Rock'n'Roll All Nite.
The bottom line is the Kiss Army is growing by leaps and bounds.
I'm just a down-to-earth guy.
People, y'know, they either love us or they hate us; there's no middle ground.
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'll get up there and I'll do my guitar solos in one of those space outfits.
Once you come and see Kiss, you either love us or you hate us.
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.
For me it's about the music, and it always has been. Maybe for some other people it's more about money.
