I'm from Brooklyn. I grew up very poor- seven people, four rooms. My dad had no education.

What I love about being a member of KISS is that we're the 'John Glenns' of rock - we always have to be the first in anything we do, and I love that.

I'll always be the catman.

I believe in the devil as much as God. You can use either one to get things done

I deal with guys in their 20s and early 30s who are presidents of companies, who are movie directors.

The magic's back and we're in a time tunnel, feeling like when we were in our 20s back in the 1970s.

It's a younger generation running the show, and I miss the generation we had in the '70s. They were really very honorable guys, like Neal Bogart and Bill Graham, people who will never be around again.
