Gene Simmons

Okay, that helps.

I want to connect to everybody.

Even if you don't speak English or if you don't like Kiss...

The blessing and the curse is you've got your fans, and other people say you suck and all that.

That's every band's... Well, we're going to get to that.

You can't be all things to all people, and it never mattered to me what it all means.

There's very little meaning...

I mean, we never talked about the secret of life because I have no idea.

We're all just passing through.

It's sugar.

It immediately tastes good and immediately gets you that.
