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.

More quotes by Paul Stanley
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
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
Anybody with money can put on a KISS show, but they can't be KISS.
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
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
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
Autobiographies, for the most part, to me, are like writing a love letter to yourself.
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
In terms of merchandise, you can't force anyone to buy something.
Paul Stanley
When you're in a position to have gotten so much, the gift at this point is giving back.
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
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
We are still not in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame but there are 3,000 Kiss products, a Kiss musical toothbrush, everything from Kiss caskets to Kiss condoms. There are no Radiohead condoms.
Paul Stanley
I tend to fly a bit under the radar.
Paul Stanley
I am one of the biggest Laura Nyro fans. I still listen to that stuff incessantly. Laura Nyro does not belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Songwriter Hall of Fame? Absolutely.
Paul Stanley
It's a really special night for our fans. It's vindication.
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
The only thing I can say is consistent in all my paintings is vivid color.
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.
