Rock stars aren't crapped out of the sky.

Please remember, that even in your darkest moments, you still have the choice to focus your energy on the positive and create a better life.
-
And the people who say things to you about the way you look and the way you dress, they have nothing more to their lives. That's all they do, and you have something more in you.
-
Find something that is a happy, healthy alternative to hurting yourself, as opposed to taking a razor blade to yourself because at the end of the day, you're only hurting the most important person in the world and that's you. And you don't want to hurt that person.

I had a certain kind of disassociation from the other kids because I had more interest in sociology, ideas and trying to communicate those ideas to the kids around me.
-
The older I get, the more interest I have in writing other kinds of music.
-
I was 16 when we made the first song. We've been touring for half a decade together and we've had quite a bit of time spent learning our craft. You improve as a song writer and as a musician over time.

Kiss will always be Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley to me.

We will be whatever they need us to be. Call us emo's, liars, and cheaters...tell people how awful we are and how little talent we have...do whatever it takes to make themselves feel better because at the end of the day, we are strong, we can take it. We don't need their approval to justify our lives. Each and every one of us has a fire that burns inside us and they can try like hell to put out that flame but as long as in our minds we know who we are meant to be, they don't stand a chance.

As you get older, you realize you're not that cool. You also realize the people you called posers are just people like you.

Something pure to burn away the darkness that hides inside my mind
-
I guess I just sorta figured out early on that most of what people feared was based on things they had heard or read, rather than what they had seen or touched. That being said I do fear that dark in the sort of spooky illustrative sense, that whole idea of "not knowing" whats there. I had really bad problems with the spooks when I was young, but not for fear of aliens.

Life is all about being true to yourself and what you believe in

I'm writing songs with the hope someone can get behind my feeling.

Bathe in your riches and friends, I'll stay here with my songbooks and pens
-
Because of the kind of music that I liked, and the different way that I dressed, it was kind of a perfect storm, creating a situation where I existed on my own throughout my schooling.
-
Creating art or something beautiful makes you a more fulfilled person than they can ever be because they're caught up in what they hate rather than what they love.
-
Believe none of what you hear...and even less of what you see...this is what we`ll be.
-
Every day, people say crappy things about my band or whatever, but I live a positive existence. I got through everything by virtue of having the same passion that I've had through the years.
-
Always be yourself, unless you can be Batman, always be Batman.
-
Never give in, never back down.
-
The people that tell you what you enjoy is wrong, or come in your life and tell you what you're wearing is wrong are miserable because they focus on the things that they don't like.

I think the biggest faults that bands tend to have in terms of drama or breaking up is bands don't learn people's personalities. When you spend as much time with people obviously it's going to rub off, and you are going to get to know the way people are. You can make sure day to day people are accommodated to and people feel positive about the experience, then you can stay together as a band, at least that is my opinion.

All I ever wanted to do was be in a band.
