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'm not here to perform. I'm here to sign autographs. You have to wait till I come back with my own hand.

I can't even read notes. But I can teach someone how to make a guitar smoke.

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.

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

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