The first thing I did when I met Shannon Tweed, or Cher, was say: `Here, there are no skeletons in Gene Simmons`s closet.` I refuse to lead a Dr Jekyll-and-Mr Hyde life. There are DJs who get caught with prostitutes, MPs with stockings on their head. It`s a waste of time. Just say, `This is who I am. Take it or leave it.` Then you sleep well.

- Gene SimmonsCranks was a huge success in London. It was Princess Margaret`s favourite show, so she brought her sister along to see it, which helped with the publicity. It was brilliant. I wore a tutu, with fishnet stockings and high heels and long gloves, and I had one of Vidal Sassoon`s first huge haircuts that were just coming in at the time, a kind of Shirley MacLaine-ish thing. Because it didn`t have a story-line and the songs weren`t conventional, they didn`t know what to make of it over here in the States and it flopped in New York.
