I knew I was destined to be a rock star. I just knew it, like I've always had the power of foresight. I feel right now exactly the way I felt after I finished mixing my first solo album 'New York Groove'.

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've never read anything about heroin where, yeah, it's a good experience, and you can do it for 20 years and enjoy it, like having a cold beer. It doesn't work that way with heroin.

I've recorded 25 or 30 albums. I know that sometimes when you work with producers who are kinda dictators, it doesn't help you make a better record.

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.

Whenever I start to really think about what I'm playing, I may play it better musically, but the feeling isn't there.

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.
