KISS' Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley spoke briefly to NYMag.com recently. Here is an excerpt from the chat:
NYMag.comBoth of you are CEOS and rock stars. What's the secret to being successful at both?
Simmons: "And good-looking!"
Stanley: "Only a fool would be a rock star without protecting the hard work they have done and reaping the rewards.

For us it becomes common sense if money is being generated, it should rightfully go into our pockets. We try to maximize everything we do. We're proud to be rich and make no apologies."
Simmons: "Hey, aren't you sick and tired of dumb rock stars? I mean, it's like going back to the hotel and you go to his room and you're like, 'Oh my God, finally!' Then he turns out to be dumb as rock. I mean, it's like us taking a girl with big tits back to our hotel. If she can't converse, then … Wait — never mind! That is fine!"
