“When you play the victim, the only person who’s compromised is you” Wow! I needed to here that
I can listen to him all day. I am so amazed to Paul Stanley, all of his words are pure of knowledge and wisdom. I love the way he speaks about life and every word that comes out in his mouth means everything.
Since I was a kid I always admired his thoughtful, intelligent answers in interviews.

KISS fan all my life. But, Paul is a singular class act. The guy just has class.

Agreed, he never went off the rails like Peter and Ace or lost focus like Gene. He has been the rock, pun intended.
One of the greatest frontmen in rock history

Yes the best oll time
Paul Stanley is the kindest and probably the most loved rock singer ever!
What a great guy. I grew up thinking Kiss was a devil worship group. So I steered clear. Now I'm 55 watching these interviews and these men are intelligent music loving, and successful. I applaud them for ignoring people like me with silly narrow minds. Entertainment indeed!

You changed your mind so.
He's battled through so much and he made it. A true survivor.
He's so well spoken
paul stanley is so cool. I remember buying his solo album back in the 70s.I was around 10 years old.I just thought he was hot with his make up, and the star on his eye.I would dance to his music.lol... but anyway I just want to say paul didn't let his ear stop him from fulfilling his dream of becoming a rock star. good job....
Bless you Paul for talking about microtia and your youth. As an uncle of a young girl with Goldenhar Syndrome, your words were heartening.
His adaptability is great. What a wonderful quality. An incredible difference between than and now. It's tough to imagine these guys on a show like this back in their 70's heyday.
I love Paul Stanley, I always knew he was hot under all that make up.
Paul is so down to earth
I’m so glad he’s talking about having a birth defect. My daughter adores him. She’s 50 and has hydrocephalus. Her life has been lonely. When she watched this video she loved him even more now that she knows they have something in common. Thank you Paul.
I don't know why I find this guy inspirational. Maybe it's the plain talking. But I really like listening to him.
He speaks so well
After listening to many bag on Paul i decided to watch a few interviews with him and must say i'm impressed. Seems like a thoughtful down to earth guy.
very intelligent man. .love you paul!
Paul Stanley is very inspiring he makes you wants to get up and do things ,that you been putting off
Paul Stanley's solo 1978 is awesome

Paul Stanley: the only reason KISS still exists. Look at their albums without make up. Paul had the songs, the drive, the passion. If he never pushed or cared they would have died in the 80's/90's.

Perhaps one of the best mannered rockers. Always carefully thinks before he speaks plus does his best to honor every question. It's so neat hearing their thoughts away from the stage. I began to see the real Paul during the convention interviews. He knows that the fans matter not the criticism from writers.
Who couldnt love this guy - hes very smart, I love you paul since 1979
Thank you Paul, for never giving up on your dream.
Paul Stanley is a very wise and well spoken gentleman. What a journey he overcame and became s legendary musician with the famous band KISS. What a lovely family. Thanks for the video. It's nice to see another side ither than a rock musician.🥰☺ 8/6/21
A great book. Recommended. I know a couple of people who met him in the early 80's and they said he was a complete a-hole - one even called him that to his face. Read the book and I understand why he was that way. He dug deep and really worked on himself. Of all the books by each member, his is head and shoulders above the rest.

Paul is hands down my favorite rhythm guitarist of all time. He is also one of the greatest front men and singers.
"That's a big finish...so to speak." Brief awkward silence from co-anchor. Love it. The Starchild is still my favorite!

Love these guys. Though the original members may have their differences and even bash one another, I love what is/was KISS. I also enjoy the positive, kind comments here for Paul. So many vids have bitter folks saying terrible things about the members, but these comments are refreshing. These men started with nothing and built a musical empire from hard work, fun, energy, and great R'n'R music.
THANK-YOU PAUL FOR 40 PLUS YEARS OF KISS ROCK N ROLL.. GOD BLESS!
He is very inspiring. Makes a guy want to tackle anything and everything that is perhaps keeping a man down. Make your own destiny. Sounds pretty easy. My 3 points to success: Mind set is first. Effort is second. Perseverance is third and last. I'll give it a try in 2016 :)
No other like you, Paul. I relish Kiss from '73 to '76. And your at the top with the greatest front men in the history of rock. Thanks for helping me through school.
Very articulate and well spoken person. I do admire him. He has a lot of good advice. I was born with Turners Syndrome, and I relate to so much that Paul has shared. I stood out, I had trouble being around people. What has shocked me the most is that he was still able to perform in spite of his ear deformity. Keep rocking Paul.
Paul Stanley is a very intelligent humble grateful human being Class Act
40 years is amazing , what an evolved person. thanks for inspiring so many people
He looks GREAT! Rock legend extraordinaire!
Love this guy. Just awesome.
Great interview. Very honest man. He's so intelligent. I never knew he was born with a severe disability. He truly has overcome many obstacles in his life, making him a true rock legend. He truly persued his dreams. What a great humble man. Love Paul.💞
What an interesting person is Paul. Such a cool guy
He haaaaaaaaaaaates the rock n' roll hall of fame. I'm not saying he's wrong, but he does not hide that fact what-so-ever. Anyways, love him! LOVE KISS!
Paul is always pleasant to watch on an interviews..he'd always say something words of wisdom..not your typical rockstar..theres always more to him than meets the eye..very talented and wise!
This is so good. So right about folks who pretend things don't exist and don't deal with stuff.
I love Paul❤️ He is very loving and caring. A well spoken man🎸✌️

I agree 100%!!! So, many people play the victim and really haven't got shot to bitch about. Everything is someone else's fault or they have some damn excuse. I have followed KISS ever since I heard them on a jukebox in Germany at age 8 or 9. There music and interviews inspired me to be a better person, to have fun but work hard!
Very likeable Guy !!
Love ❤️ Paul Stanley.
Such a great guy.
The Starchild!
Paul Stanley is one of my all time heroes and favorite lead singer/guitar playing frontmen. I've been an obsessed life long KISS fanatic!!

I remember in 74 taking my open and close stereo. Around 7-8 years old taking the speakers off and holding them close to my ears and turning up as loud as possible and playing Kiss. Back in the day they never performed without their makeup. Love this guy. Paul Stanley is awesome. Still in the Kiss army. I remember staying up late to see their tv show.
He really is a likeable guy.
Awesome, Thank you Paul!
One of his best interviews!
A very good man
Those boots! I've tripped over my own feet in bedroom slippers...more than once...
I am so Glad that Paul s life is so good and that he have such a Beauty ful Family i wish you all the best and wonderful day together
Such a highly intelligent human being and great musician ❤️
Great interview and its always nice to see this side of Paul
Yeah Paul!
What an amazing person/father/LEADER!!!!
Love him just a great guy
Had three brief chats with him over the years- always was great!
A really nice honest guy
First band I've ever seen in concert. 1979 Dynasty tour The Cow Palace , SF , Ca.
The best interviews i've ever seen, are those of Paul Stanley or Paul McCartney. Classy, funny and more than anything, down to earth.
oh I love you paul stanley hea is the great est você of rock roll
I can barely name a KISS song but I enjoyed reading his (and Peter Criss's) book.
An amazing front man......one of the best.....saw kiss when they started..yes they ruled the rock world....Fact....Amen
A true class act. Exactly how a rock star should conduct themselves
I love how Stanley's wig looks so natural.
I've read all their biographies as of now, and it wasn't difficult to pick a "side"...it was/is clearly with Paul. Although I enjoyed Ace and Peter's books (Peter's especially), as entertaining as they were, I ended with having virtually no respect for either one of them (Kiss was my first official "favorite group" as a kid, so I've been a long-time fan). Gene was an easy second choice, but I prefer Paul's personality and attitude over Gene's if for no other reason than resonating much more with Paul's extremely likable disposition. Paul may be my all-time favorite interview subject. He has about the best skill set ever for answering questions. If you haven't seen his "Raw" interview somewhere on YT, check it out. He has mad verbal skills, and it's fun and fascinating to watch him perfect his answers in real time. Cheers.

Advise I needed to hear at this moment..his intelligence amazes me..thanks paul
Every interview I see of him is so based and wise.
I Just Love Paul 😍😍😍😍😍
I actually saw this on Hallmark last year. Very inspiring.
Class Act.
Paul, the best😊
Forty five years standing in front of those amps...with one ear....it's amazing he can hear at all
Unless he is a better actor-and I’ve seen KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park😉😉-than I have been led to believe, Paul is one of the happiest and most well adjusted celebrities I can think of right offhand. Always enjoy his interviews. And I always enjoyed watching Home & Family, it was a good show.
Mr. Paul Stanley speaks like a true gentleman :)
Paul is very interesting. I have most certainly learned a lot from Gene and Paul.
Dear Paul Stanley I have been listening to the forever song because I like it very much and it sounds like a good wedding song sincerely Shannon
I love this guy. Humble statements, great 👍
Paul Stanley rocks
Beautiful
What a well dress , spoken man. Great advice Paul giving
