Dee Snider

I only have one child. But I am learning that there is a lot to being a parent that you did not expect.

I've got a lot to do, and I hope that by the end of it all, people will say that Dee Snider was an entertainer, and he did his job well.

I wanted to be a rich, famous rock-and-roll star in that order.

Being a parent is not a reasonable thing. It is a very hard thing. I am a parent and I know.

You can't stop rock-n-roll!

I love scary movies.

My family is out of the ordinary in our physical lifestyle and the day-to-day things that we deal with, but my approach to them is pretty rational and sound. And I'm the quiet one! It's very different from my performing life.

Twisted Sister plays 20, 25 shows a year. But if the band had their druthers, they'd be out playing all the time.

I don't conduct myself like a rock 'n' roll star in my day-to-day living. Am I a celebrity? Yes. Do people recognize me on the street? Yes, they do. But at the same time, it's not a media center out here. People get used to you.

I tested the waters on producing a record, but I'm more of a creative guy. I can't get into minute details.
