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 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.

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.

I just didn't expect an acoustic version of Rock'n'Roll All Nite.

I think most of the people, once you see a Kiss show, you kinda get spoiled because I don't think there's anybody out there that's doing a bigger or a better show than us.

I don't like to practice; I like spontaneity. When I don't play guitar for a week and I pick it up again, I play better.

I'm just a kid from Bronx who got lucky.
