Live and think like a poor man and you'll always be OK.

The only jobs kids have are to do well in school, to be charming and polite, and be thankful. That's it. I'll house you, protect you, I'll even give my life for you, and in return, you will behave.

From Gene Simmons

I'm forbidden fruit. Once you go to certain households, mommy doesn't want you to see that dirty man who sticks his tongue out and spits out blood and all that stuff.

From Gene Simmons

Music is feeling. You can try to verbalize it. It really just hits you or it doesn't.

From Gene Simmons

If you're the greatest, it's okay to say you're the greatest. My suggestion to everybody is to be their own greatest fan. Weaker personas and personalities define that as egotistical or arrogant, but what it means is their self-esteem isn't that strong.

From Gene Simmons

I like to approach every day like it's the only day I will ever have.

From Gene Simmons

Rock is about finding who you are. You don't necessarily have to play your instrument very well at all. You can just barely get by and you can be in a rock band.

From Gene Simmons

The makeup is simply an extension of the personality and colors, clothing, makeup all express something.

From Gene Simmons

Kiss is a Fourth of July fireworks show with a backbeat.

From Gene Simmons

Before a show, you might have aches or pains, or it's a bad rainy day, or it's too humid. We all complain about stuff. But... how do I put this poetically? Once it's the roar of the crowd and the smell of the greasepaint, forget it. Once the adrenaline kicks in and your chest expands, you forget about all that.
