Its extremely important to have a loyal fan base and be receptive to them.

Other bands gave us lip service, but when it came down to it they kind of backed off. That was a little disheartening. But I respect them. That's their business.

I have lived most my life with chronic inflammation and constant pain with immediate diarrhea.

My life would have been different without Paul Stanley or Ace Frehley. They would have to be the greatest on my list as an influence to my life at 11 years old.

I love playing with Jeff. That's something I never really say in the press, but he's my favorite bass player. I've played right next to him for 10 years.

There's Eddie's conviction and his lyrics and his ideals, and he can just rock straight out. His vocals are incredible. And we all are really competent musicians.

The average life spans of many bands are not that long, up to five years if they are lucky.

But KISS inspired me personally to pick up a guitar and go for it.

It's always push and pull with a record company.

I am constantly amazed at their support over the years.

I have to eat in a way that's good for me.

Only God can break through the variegated walls of skin to capture the one and only hue of the heart. One Blood.

In the silence of night I have often wished for just a few words of love from one man, rather than the applause of thousands of people.

Now, tomorrow Miss Laurie McCrae and me, we have an appointment with a sky pilot who will make it proper for us to travel in double harness.

The blues is not the creation of a crushed-spirited people. It is the product of a forward-looking, upward-striving people.

It is not earthly rank, nor birth, nor nationality, nor religious privilege, which proves that we are members of the family of God; it is love, a love that embraces all humanity.

If that happens again someone's gonna get shot.... with an arrow of love!

Just as the subtle physical body holds together the physical body, the causal body holds together the body of awareness.

I guess Ive been training in the theater for as long as I can remember.

If I had a lover who wanted to hear from me every day, I would break with him.

When fans start screaming when they see me it makes my heart smile.
