When you are a rock star in front of 20,000 people, you receive instant gratification. A rock star on tour is a king in his domain.

More quotes by Gene Simmons
I crave ideas, and when an idea hits me, it grips me and it tortures me until I master it.
Gene Simmons
Rock stars are idiots. You know that! Remember this moron never went to music school, never learned music theory and can't read or write music. So why not be suspicious of everything this idiot says?
Gene Simmons
I have sold my soul to the devil.
Gene Simmons
Better to discuss everything out in the open while you're in love, then if or when the relationship sadly ends. It's called Full Disclosure Before The Fact.
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.
Gene Simmons
Never underestimate the power of being popular in pop culture. You have to be able to do something. You can have a good seat at the restaurant, but you still have to pay for the meal. Fame is important, but to be rich is more important.
Gene Simmons
People are only what we believe them to be.
Gene Simmons
Being a Jew, you realize your strongest weapon is your mind.
Gene Simmons
Life is too short to have anything but delusional notions about yourself.
Gene Simmons
With just a little effort, life can be more or less exceptionally tolerable.
Gene Simmons
You need to eat, but you don't really need to eat filet mignon every night or buy bottles of champagne at a thousand a pop.
Gene Simmons
Coming back to Israel is a homecoming.
Gene Simmons
Kiss is not a charity. Never, ever mix commerce and charity.
Gene Simmons
It's very professionally done, very clever songwriting. I like Backstreet Boys more than 'N Sync, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, it's all very well done stuff. Much better than the Partridge Family and New Kids On The Block. I took my kids to see Backstreet Boys live and they flipped out
Gene Simmons
My mother is probably the wisest person I've ever known. She's not schooled, she's not well read. But she has a philosophy of life that makes well-read people seem like morons.
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.
Gene Simmons
I think I know it all, relatively speaking.
Gene Simmons
Don't believe bands who say it's all about the fans and they want to give their music away for free. The result is they will continue to live in their mother's basement.
Gene Simmons
Television and comic books are, and continue to be, probably the biggest influence in my life. It's the biggest influence on everybody's life.
Gene Simmons
If you're a man in your twenties or thirties, and you have yet to make your fortune, I would urge you not to get married.
Gene Simmons
