If I had my way, I'd always be onstage. But I won't always be able to be onstage.

More quotes by Paul Stanley
I think KISS has always been about celebrating self-empowerment. Celebrating the idea that anything is possible with determination and hard work.
Paul Stanley
The only thing I can say is consistent in all my paintings is vivid color.
Paul Stanley
A Kiss concert experience is like sex or anything else that's done with more that one person. It's the give and take that makes it so great. When the audience takes it to the next level, we can kick it up another notch.
Paul Stanley
Tooting my own horn is of no interest to me... it takes you away from real life. It's a waste, and I don't find a need to sing my own praises.
Paul Stanley
I started working out, doing a formal workout right around 1980. That's when I really decided I needed to get in shape and it may have been because you just start to see a decrease - a change in your body.
Paul Stanley
My workout is always with a trainer because, quite honestly, I don't think most people are motivated enough to do what they need to on their own. You either need a spotter or you need a trainer. You need somebody there to push you to get that extra five.
Paul Stanley
You can't enter the Olympics unless you do your routine to get in shape for it. The idea of going out on stage on a tour without having prepped for it would be suicide, literally.
Paul Stanley
If we're lucky we realize that life is really about family - your children, your family and your friends. Without that, the rest is hollow.
Paul Stanley
I never thought being the producer was being the dictator. It means being the director and being the coach. It's a way of keeping everybody focused on the goal, and also having final say. Everybody can be in the same car, but somebody has to drive.
Paul Stanley
The premise of Kiss has always been to not live within the confinements and boundaries other people set for themselves. We set our own limitations, and those are no limitations.
Paul Stanley
The things we sing about are timeless. Political affairs and social situations come and go. But if you're singing about empowerment and not playing by the rules, you can sing about them until you can't sing anymore.
Paul Stanley
Anybody with money can put on a KISS show, but they can't be KISS.
Paul Stanley
I've seen myself do stuff on stage that was pretty amazing. I think that would be true for any athlete. Any top athlete will see something that they are very proud of. All my injuries will attest to the fact that besides being a musician, it comes down to being an athlete.
Paul Stanley
The only exercise I got as a kid was fork to mouth. Food was equated with love in my household. I thought you left the table when the zipper was down and you'd explode if you took another bite. I'd eat my plate and then everyone else's leftovers.
Paul Stanley
Credibility is someone else's idea of what I should be doing.
Paul Stanley
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is marketing. You've got a bunch of faceless people in a back room who trademark a name that sounds very official. Well, if you had thought of it first, you would have been the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Paul Stanley
I tend to fly a bit under the radar.
Paul Stanley
Nothing could ever stop Kiss. I've seen the band in down times where critics were like vultures circling overhead saying things like, 'Well, you know it's the end of your career.'
Paul Stanley
It's absurd for anybody to look around and hear the acts and artists who cite us as an inspiration, and then tell me that we're not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Paul Stanley
Autobiographies, for the most part, to me, are like writing a love letter to yourself.
