I wanted to be a rich, famous rock-and-roll star in that order.
— 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 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.
Twisted Sister plays 20, 25 shows a year. But if the band had their druthers, they'd be out playing all the time.
There's no tour plans, no reunion, no new album... nothing.
But most of my songs were about believing in yourself, standing up for yourself and fighting for what you believe in.
Being a parent is not a reasonable thing. It is a very hard thing. I am a parent and I know.
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.
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 went for an outrageous form of expressing myself. It seemed to be a way that I could make my name and show that I was somebody.
I love scary movies.
I was born and raised a Christian, and I still adhere to those principles.
Nowadays people sell millions of records that can't sing.
I tested the waters on producing a record, but I'm more of a creative guy. I can't get into minute details.
You can't stop rock-n-roll!
