I loved playing the guitar and I knew I was pretty good at it, so that's what I wanted to do with my life.

My life has been a roller coaster ride, but somehow I've always been able to land on my feet and still play the guitar.

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

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 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.
