When you start fooling around with drugs, you're hurting your creativity, you're hurting your health. Drugs are death, in one form or another. If they don't kill you, they kill your soul. And if your soul's dead, you've got nothing to offer, anyway.
Core strengthening is key to everything. It's not just about the way I look, but about stabilizing my body so I can perform better on stage.
Some People Like a House with A Fire Place, Others want a House they can set on Fire!
There's a difference between standing up and telling people what you're planning to do and standing up and going and accomplishing something.
You can't enter the Olympics unless you do your routine to get in shape for it. The idea of going out on stage on a tour without having prepped for it would be suicide, literally.
I think KISS has always been about celebrating self-empowerment. Celebrating the idea that anything is possible with determination and hard work.
The financial reward is great and I love the life I have, but all money makes possible is for you to stop worrying about money. Then you have freedom to live your life.
The best part of waking up, is Folgers in your cup!
I'm damn successful but I got here by not taking crap. I still don't take crap, so if anybody needs a champion, let it be me.
I know life sometimes can get tough! And I know life sometimes can be a drag! But people, we have been given a gift, we have been given a road And that road's name is Rock and Roll!
There are no fans more rabid or devoted than KISS fans. KISS fans are what all other fans are measured against. That's how it came to be known as the KISS Army.
When you're in a position to have gotten so much, the gift at this point is giving back.
Music critics are, for the most part, bitter people who are intent at dragging people down for being successful at what they want to do, which is probably music. The oddity of being a critic is: You don't get a diploma, you just decide you're a critic. If someone listens to your opinion rather than their own, it's their mistake. Any critic's top 10, any year, it's something controversial or something that will make them look hipper-than-thou. The whole critic game, we've never played.
Don't kid yourself; the guy who's onstage in ripped-up jeans is wearing as much a costume as I am.
