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 do not believe profanity has anything to do with Christianity, thank you.

I emphatically denounce Paul Ryan's use of my song 'We're Not Gonna Take It' as recorded by my band Twisted Sister. There is almost nothing on which I agree with Paul Ryan, except perhaps the use of the P90X.

I was interviewed by the Moscow Times and they said how's it feel to know that every Russian school child has to read your Teenage Survival Guide? I said slightly terrifying.

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.
