The Wisdom Of Paul Stanley

”First of all it's hard to imagine that he flew to California to audition for KISS just because he liked airplane food; also Bon Jovi's done a lot of great things but they don't sit next to Howlin' Wolf in my record collection.”

"You can't share what you don't own. I can't say 'I'm sharing your transportation' and steal your car!"

"You can't hold someone elses hand when your own hand is balled in a fist."

“During the short periods when Kiss was not on the road I would sit on the sofa in my New York City apartment and think, Nobody would believe that I’m home and have no place to go.”

"Why was Vinnie Vincent fired? How many hours do you have?" 

"I´d like to thank all of you, for opening your arms and your legs!"

If I wanted to do a one man KISS album I would do ANIMALIZE.

“I paint for myself because if no one else likes it I have at least one big fan.”

"The same criteria that kept us out has now gotten us in, and that's terrific.”

"I love this band, and the only one who’s going to tell me when it’s over is me.”

"Anybody can try to do a Kiss show. It only takes money, bombs and all the rest of those things that are available to anybody who can write a check. But you can never beat Kiss."

“You’re looking for someone – but it’s not Kiss.”

“If you're not going to listen to somebody in a white coat, listen to somebody in black leather.”

“If you don’t expect something from someone that you can’t get, you will never be disappointed.”

“I realized that I was going to say farewell to Kiss because of two people. The fans didn’t want Kiss to go away.”

"I’m so blessed to have this arsenal of songs, and I can’t imagine being tired of them.”

"You should always remember that the person who wants you to have that extra drink or toke or share drugs with them isn’t doing it for you. They’re doing it because misery loves company."
