More quotes by Paul Stanley
The fact that you can't base a coffeehouse on any other rock band is the other rock bands' problem, not mine.
Paul Stanley
KISS has always been outside of the borders of what other bands can do. Not that some of these other bands wouldn't want to do it - the fact that they may snicker or look down their noses at what we do is more out of jealously than anything else.
Paul Stanley
In terms of merchandise, you can't force anyone to buy something.
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
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
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 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
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
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
The only thing I can say is consistent in all my paintings is vivid color.
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
Anybody with money can put on a KISS show, but they can't be KISS.
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
If I had my way, I'd always be onstage. But I won't always be able to be onstage.
Paul Stanley
It's a really special night for our fans. It's vindication.
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 tend to fly a bit under the radar.
Paul Stanley
The great thing about doing art shows is you get to meet the people who are interested in your art, and I think that when you're purchasing a piece of art it's a tremendous bonus to get to meet the artist because you get a chance to pick their brain a bit and find out first hand what the piece is about for the artist.
Paul Stanley
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
Youth is incredible because you really do feel invincible.
