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

I tend to fly a bit under the radar.

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
Image
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.

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.

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.'

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
Image
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.

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.

Image
The great thing about rock-n-roll is you realize the top of the mountain is big enough for more than one band.
Paul Stanley
Image
There's a difference between standing up and telling people what you're planning to do and standing up and going and accomplishing something.
Paul Stanley
Image
Credibility is someone else's idea of what I should be doing.

In terms of merchandise, you can't force anyone to buy something.
Paul Stanley
Image
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.

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.

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.

We're the McDonalds of rock. Were always there to satisfy, and a billion served.
Paul Stanley
Image
The fact that you can't base a coffeehouse on any other rock band is the other rock bands' problem, not mine.
Paul Stanley

I think KISS has always been about celebrating self-empowerment. Celebrating the idea that anything is possible with determination and hard work.

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.
