More quotes by Gene Simmons
Life is too short to have anything but delusional notions about yourself.
Gene Simmons
You don't need jails, you get put a thousand miles into the middle of Australia, you can go wherever you want, go ahead, but if you come into a city it's straight to jail.
Gene Simmons
My background is full of pain. My mother was in a Nazi concentration camp and our whole family was killed off. Then early on your father leaves and all you've got is your mother, and I was an only child. Then you come to a new country and I can't speak English.
Gene Simmons
Kiss is the number-one American band in gold-record sales. In the world, only the Beatles and the Stones are ahead of us. Every other band should be wiping my ass. The line forms over there to the left.
Gene Simmons
Anyone who tells you they got into rock'n'roll for reasons other than girls, fame and money is full of s***.
Gene Simmons
Being a Jew, you realize your strongest weapon is your mind.
Gene Simmons
I have sold my soul to the devil.
Gene Simmons
I love money, I love women, I like to work hard and I don't use drugs.
Gene Simmons
Belief is self-knowing. Even Yoda out of Star Wars said, 'Do or do not. There is no try.'
Gene Simmons
Before you go out there and try to conquer the universe... get your act together.
Gene Simmons
Rock bands are a lot like football teams: If a guy is on drugs and messes up, get someone else who's proud to wear the uniform and be part of the team.
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
It's easy to be drowned out by the crowd, but to thine own self be true, say I, no matter what everybody says, no matter what the popular vibe is.
Gene Simmons
The root of all evil isn't money rather, it's not having enough money.
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.
Gene Simmons
I don't wanna go on vacation. There's nothing about it that appeals to me. People look forward to doing that I look forward to getting up every day and doing something.
Gene Simmons
What we have is pretty meaningless. It's what we are that counts.
Gene Simmons
I know that you like to see a man in the kitchen, but I'm skeptical of men who cook. A man should be focusing his attention on the woman, and not what's on the stove.
Gene Simmons
The sad thing is most people have to check with someone before they do the things that make them happy. We're all passing through the least we can do is be happy, and the only way to do that is by being selfish.
Gene Simmons
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.
