Why is it that most of the folks I know think "personal growth" is caused entirely by those second and third helpings of biscuits and gravy?
I'm aware, as a sane person, that I'm not the best-looking guy in the world. I'm aware of it. But when I go into a party, I will walk out with your girlfriend.
That's why I'm a big supporter of the death penalty. I want to be the hangman. I would put many more people to death like the kids who want to kill other people, I'd put 'em to death. Postal workers who get arrested, they have mental problems. You know what? When you're dead you don't have a mental problem. If you take a life, I will take yours. Put me in charge, I will fix it.
Well being in Kiss is having a more limited spectrum. It's a smaller playground to play in because there are limitations. I'm the big bad wolf and I'm supposed to do this and that. There are rules, which are self imposed I must say, but there are rules. We break enough of them, but the truth is that being Gene Simmons in an album called 'Asshole' forged me the opportunity of just recreating myself. Very much Jekyll and Hyde. Mr. Hyde is the big bad guy and Dr. Jekyll has studied and both are connected.
I like to approach every day like it's the only day I will ever have.
There are no limitations to any of our dreams.
I think that Shakespeare is a s***. Absolute s***! He may have been a genius for his time, but I just can't relate to that stuff. "Thee and thous" - the guy sounds like a faggot.
Rock bands are a lot like football teams: If a guy is on drugs and messes up, get someone else who's proud to wear the uniform and be part of the team.
You can't start motoring up life's road until you get your buns in gear.
Our perception of yesterday is the foundation for our expectations of tomorrow.
We don't know whether or not it's the Farewell Tour odr the Jews in Space Tour, which I prefer as a title.
Television and comic books are, and continue to be, probably the biggest influence in my life. It's the biggest influence on everybody's life.
First, when I was 12, I saw a Spanish girl jumping rope. I never saw her face, but it was still the most beautiful sight I'd ever seen.
Elvis is the king of rock and roll, who made white kids shake there shackle.
