Don't kid yourself; the guy who's onstage in ripped-up jeans is wearing as much a costume as I am.

Autobiographies, for the most part, to me, are like writing a love letter to yourself.

We are still not in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame but there are 3,000 Kiss products, a Kiss musical toothbrush, everything from Kiss caskets to Kiss condoms. There are no Radiohead condoms.

The great thing about rock-n-roll is you realize the top of the mountain is big enough for more than one band.

I'm damn successful but I got here by not taking crap. I still don't take crap, so if anybody needs a champion, let it be me.

When you're in a position to have gotten so much, the gift at this point is giving back.

If I had my way, I'd always be onstage. But I won't always be able to be onstage.
