- Gene Simmons: As an Israeli, I want you to look at me first. I want you to search my anal cavity and look at my tax records. I want you to look at me first, and then at every guy named Muhammad.

- Gene Simmons: It is embarrassing what's happening to America nowadays. I'm embarrassed. The same thing happened in Vietnam, and I lived through that era. It was unbelievable. The answer seems to be, from some political experts, just get up and leave and the bad guys will decide, "Hey let's disarm and everything's going to be okay." I'm so sick and tired of such idiotic behavior.

- Gene Simmons: I refuse to lead a Jekyll-and-Hyde life. There are Djs who get caught with prostitutes, and M.P.s with stockings on their head. It's waste of time. Just say, 'This is who I am. Take it or leave it.' Then you sleep well.
