I went to my friend's house one day, and he had an electric guitar he had just bought with a tiny little amp. I turned the volume up to 10 and I hit one chord, and I said, I'm in love.

As long as I know what key the solo is in, I try to kind of empty my mind and not think about anything. I just play without thinking.

I knew I was destined to do a solo album, but when I did that first album in 1978, I had no idea it was going to be that well received.

If I had known I would influence so many guitarists, I would have practiced more.

One thing I love to do is produce. I've produced a couple of bands. I mean, nothing ever really happened with 'em, but I enjoy getting a young band into the studio and guiding them, and making them feel at ease.

I never set my sights low. I've always believed most people are ruined by the limitations they put on themselves. I was never afraid to take that step, to see what I was capable of doing. Does luck play a role in success, particularly in a creative field? Sure it does. But if you don't have the balls to give it a shot, you're destined to fail.

Whenever I start to really think about what I'm playing, I may play it better musically, but the feeling isn't there.

I'll get up there and I'll do my guitar solos in one of those space outfits.

I asked my daughter when she was 16, What's the buzz on the street with the kids? She's going, to be honest, Dad, most of my friends aren't into Kiss. But they've all been told that it's the greatest show on Earth.

I knew I was destined to be a rock star. I just knew it, like I've always had the power of foresight. I feel right now exactly the way I felt after I finished mixing my first solo album 'New York Groove'.

I'm just a kid from Bronx who got lucky.

I personally believe this: We have only today yesterday's gone and tomorrow is uncertain. That's why they call it the present. And sobriety really is a gift... for those who are willing to receive it.

I eat, sleep, and drink my character. It is my fantasy to go to another planet.

I'm the kinda person, you gotta fight for everything you get. You gotta believe in yourself.

One of the greatest gifts I've ever gotten is my daughter.

I've recorded 25 or 30 albums. I know that sometimes when you work with producers who are kinda dictators, it doesn't help you make a better record.
