I don't wait for the calendar to figure out when I should live life.
I'm fascinated with myself and love hearing the sound of my own voice. I'd like to hear what I have to say. A lot of people don't like being alone because they truly don't like themselves, but I love me.
Life is too short to have anything but delusional notions about yourself.
No. Better research needed. Fire your research person. No fishnet stockings. Never. Not in this band.
My mother had a horrific life. At fourteen, she was in the Nazi concentration camps. Her sense about life now is, every day above ground is a good day.
The makeup is simply an extension of the personality and colors, clothing, makeup all express something.
I fail all of the time. It means nothing.
My mother is probably the wisest person I've ever known. She's not schooled, she's not well read. But she has a philosophy of life that makes well-read people seem like morons.
I'm in a weird band. We've done very well. The American Dream is alive and well.
Live and think like a poor man and you'll always be OK.
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.
Music is feeling. You can try to verbalize it. It really just hits you or it doesn't.
The root of all evil isn't money; rather, it's not having enough money.
I crave ideas, and when an idea hits me, it grips me and it tortures me until I master it.
I am an entrepreneur in the classic mold. No matter what I do - outside of sticking my tongue out - I tend to make money, and quite a bit in non-KISS stuff.
James Bond has a license to kill, rockstars have a license to be outrageous. Rock is about grabbing people's attention.
I have to have an emotional connection to what I am ultimately selling because it is emotion, whether you are selling religion, politics, even a breath mint.
Personally I support 14,000 kids in Zambia - I feed and clothe them - but I don't hold press conferences about it. I don't do it so you'll think what a nice person I am; it's private.
Never underestimate the power of being popular in pop culture. You have to be able to do something. You can have a good seat at the restaurant, but you still have to pay for the meal. Fame is important, but to be rich is more important.
The best you can do is set your kids on the right track; staying on it without falling is up to the kids.
