At the Annual Clive Davis Pre-Grammy Party held in Los Angeles, California at the Beverly Hilton tonight, Paul Stanley of Kiss stopped on the red carpet to discuss his latest project, his upcoming book.
In an interview on the red carpet, Stanleystated, “My book is about three-quarters done. It should be pretty terrific.”
He noted, “I think there’s a lot to be said for self-empowerment for what you can accomplish, when you believe in yourself, and go against all the odds and adversity.”
“So hopefully, it will be a book that is more than just a lot of smut, and a tell-all, or braggadocio,” he said. How’s that for a word? ”
What revelations will Stanley‘s fans find out about him as a person? He joked, “That I’m an exceptional guy. It’s a book that my kids will be able to read. Not right now, but it’s a book that will show where I started and that the road really isn’t that easy.”
So far, Stanley has not been very open when discussing hardships he has been through. There is a reason for this, Stanley explains, “I’m an entertainer. I’m a performer. People pay me to entertain. People pay me to forget about their problems.”
“You don’t want to hear my problems. You don’t want to hear about mine,” he said.
Maybe there are some rock fans that do. “Okay. Let me get a chair and sit down. Let me get a couch, I’ll lay down,” he joked.
I smile and offer, “I’ll be your analyst. I could do a good job.”
“I’m sure you would,” laughed Stanley.
