Ever since I was a child I've always been very attracted to melodies. Whether I hear Jeff Beck, a choir, an ocean or the wind, there's always a melody in there.

The best part of touring, still, is touching people's hearts and igniting my band and igniting the people into what you call a spiritual revelation is sound and emotion.

KISS is Las Vegas entertainment. A musician doesn't need the mask.

Some musicians, man, you hear the note almost before they hit it. Jimi, Coltrane and Charlie Parker were like that.

Most people don't have that willingness to break bad habits. They have a lot of excuses and they talk like victims.

I think of music as a menu. I can't eat the same thing every day.

All music is important if it comes from the heart.
