I knew I was destined to do a solo album, but when I did that first album in 1978, I had no idea it was going to be that well received.
By the time I'm 40, interplanetary travel will be common. Nobody will want to talk to me at that age, anyway.
I had a feeling it was gonna work out because not only did I enjoy the music and hit it off with the guys, but I was into theatrical rock and was willing to wear makeup and do anything to make it.
One of the greatest gifts I've ever gotten is my daughter.
I believe that the only way that the human race is gonna survive is to start colonizing space and setting up colonies on the moon, and then space stations.
As long as I know what key the solo is in, I try to kind of empty my mind and not think about anything. I just play without thinking.
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!
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.
