I don't speak cockney and I don't pretend to come from that part of the world. For the longest time the English, like the Beatles and so on sounded American. "She loves you yeah yeah yeah!" All of the sudden you sound American. It doesn't work that way with Americans who try to sing English. It's not convincing. If I say "Footy" and "tele" and "Brissy" and "Sydney" and "Simmo" it's not convincing.
Gene SimmonsI'm fascinated with myself and love hearing the sound of my own voice. I'd like to hear what I have to say. A lot of people don't like being alone because they truly don't like themselves, but I love me.
Gene SimmonsI'm from Israel, so America has no limits. I started a record label, and then I started managing other artists, like Liza Minelli.
Gene SimmonsFiscally, I'm very conservative. I don't believe in welfare states. I believe in giving people jobs.
