“I think KISS has always been about celebrating self-empowerment. Celeb...” — Paul Stanley Quote

“I think KISS has always been about celebrating self-empowerment. Celebrating the idea that anything is possible with determination and hard work.”

“I'm damn successful but I got here by not taking crap. I still don't take crap, so if anybody needs a champion, let it be me.”

“To go from being an unpopular, chubby little kid who was chasing girls and couldn't seem to catch them, to being chased after and making sure I ran slow enough that I did get caught, it was 180 degree turn. It was being given the keys to the candy store.”

“The interesting thing is that when you start out, people have no judgment and they see you young and fresh as a filmmaker - and because you have no experience yet, you're much more naive and think anything is possible.”

“The optimist underestimates how difficult it is to achieve real change, believing that anything is possible and it's possible now. Only by confronting head-on the reality that all progress is going to be obstructed by vested interests and corrupted by human venality can we create realistic programmes that actually have a chance of success.”
