More quotes by Paul Stanley
Youth is incredible because you really do feel invincible.
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
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
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
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
Credibility is someone else's idea of what I should be doing.
Paul Stanley
If I had my way, I'd always be onstage. But I won't always be able to be onstage.
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
Anybody with money can put on a KISS show, but they can't be KISS.
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 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
Autobiographies, for the most part, to me, are like writing a love letter to yourself.
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
I think KISS has always been about celebrating self-empowerment. Celebrating the idea that anything is possible with determination and hard work.
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
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
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
In terms of merchandise, you can't force anyone to buy something.
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.
