Kiss is like a smell in a paper bag, they just never go away

I've produced things myself, I was like telling the producers how to do the show. They really didn't appreciate that, they just wanted a dumb rocker on the show and they got some guy telling them how to do their job. So being too smart can get in the way.

But most of my songs were about believing in yourself, standing up for yourself and fighting for what you believe in.

I was interviewed by the Moscow Times and they said how's it feel to know that every Russian school child has to read your Teenage Survival Guide? I said slightly terrifying.

I was born and raised a Christian and I still adhere to those principles.

I went for an outrageous form of expressing myself. It seemed to be a way that I could make my name and show that I was somebody.

I don't conduct myself like a rock 'n' roll star in my day-to-day living. Am I a celebrity? Yes. Do people recognize me on the street? Yes, they do. But at the same time, it's not a media center out here. People get used to you.
