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

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

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.

Once you come and see Kiss, you either love us or you hate us.

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.

One thing I love to do is produce. I've produced a couple of bands. I mean, nothing ever really happened with 'em, but I enjoy getting a young band into the studio and guiding them, and making them feel at ease.

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.
