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'm just a down-to-earth guy.

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.

For me it's about the music, and it always has been. Maybe for some other people it's more about money.

I'll get up there and I'll do my guitar solos in one of those space outfits.

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.

If I had known I would influence so many guitarists, I would have practiced more.
