Ace Frehley

My life has been a roller coaster ride, but somehow I've always been able to land on my feet and still play the guitar.

For me it's about the music, and it always has been. Maybe for some other people it's more about money.

I'm the kinda person, you gotta fight for everything you get. You gotta believe in yourself.

I've been around a long time, so I guess I've touched a lot of people's lives - hopefully for the better.

I had a feeling it was gonna work out because not only did I enjoy the music and hit it off with the guys, but I was into theatrical rock and was willing to wear makeup and do anything to make it.

I think most of the people, once you see a Kiss show, you kinda get spoiled because I don't think there's anybody out there that's doing a bigger or a better show than us.

The bottom line is the Kiss Army is growing by leaps and bounds.

It's always great playing with other musicians. It's also a great situation where I'm the older guy, I've influenced generations of guitar players.

I'm not here to perform. I'm here to sign autographs. You have to wait till I come back with my own hand.

I believe that the only way that the human race is gonna survive is to start colonizing space and setting up colonies on the moon, and then space stations.

A lot of times, I played bass on songs. Gene plays guitar on some songs.

I think the fans really wanna hear the songs the way they sound on the record.

That's what Kiss is all about - not just music, but entertainment, y'know? We're there to take you away from your problems, and rock and roll all night and party every day for those two hours you're at the concert.

People, y'know, they either love us or they hate us; there's no middle ground.

As long as I know what key the solo is in, I try to kind of empty my mind and not think about anything. I just play without thinking.

I went to my friend's house one day, and he had an electric guitar he had just bought with a tiny little amp. I turned the volume up to 10 and I hit one chord, and I said, I'm in love.

We're bigger now than we were in the late 70s when we were peaking.

I'll get up there and I'll do my guitar solos in one of those space outfits.

When you take a shower in space, you have to press the water onto your body to clean yourself, and then you gotta vacuum it off.

I don't see this planet being... they're talking about how they're turning around the environmental problems here, but I think it's already too late.

I asked my daughter when she was 16, What's the buzz on the street with the kids? She's going, to be honest, Dad, most of my friends aren't into Kiss. But they've all been told that it's the greatest show on Earth.
