"Marriage is an institution and I'm much too young to go into an institution" "I played and played...till we became friends. Me and my guitar" "All you critics that are gonna cut the sh*t out of me for having fun get your pencil sharpened."-Jon Bon Jovi introducing the song Cadillac Man live "I live these records 25 hours a day" "If a man can be judged by the friends he keeps, I must be the luckiest man in town" "I don't have a lot of angst in my stuff. There's too much misery in the world already. I feel people will go to a movie or listen to a record or go to a Bon Jovi show to make them feel good. Because, man, the rest of the world blows." �Sometimes music inspires people in a very positive way....because if it says something positive to a kid,it might influence that kid to greatness someday.� "We learned to keep family business inside the family. I don't know if that was from too many years of watching The Godfather or what" "You've been listening to those boy bands too long. This is a man band right here" �I�m the guy who,when I climb in the van,get�s asked, �Have you taken your pee yet?� I say, � course I have,leave me alone.� Then fifteen minutes down the road I�m whining at them to stop and let me pee.So if I�m on stage and nature calls, I pee in a little garbage can behind the speakers during one of the longer solos.� "He's a guitar miracle, Bon Jovi couldn't do without him. He gets amazing sounds out of his instrument, it almost seems like he uses twenty fingers."Jon talking about his favorite guitarist,Richie Sambora �We all walk in someone else�s shadow at the end of the day...but that�s not such a bad thing� "I was never a big heavy metal fan. We got that label because, at one point in time, we opened for Kiss and the Scorpions. No, we make pop music. Just like Alice Cooper." "If you're from NJ, let people make all those bad jokes about our state. Don't tell anybody how great it is here. It's the best kept secret." " Nobody's been kind to my records, yet we've been enormously commercially successful. Everyone's been kind to me in the movie's, but I have no real box office success. I appreciate the accolades, but I'm not sure I want to be the Elvis Costello of the movie's." �What I always got from rock �n� roll as a kid was the dream of something bigger and better ....I wanna bring people a little smile...if you�re not optimistic,you�re dyin� " �It bugs me when people seem more interested in my looks than in my work.� �I�m a workaholic and I�ll never slow down.� To me,I want our shows to be nothing more than a chance to go out and lock the door. When you come into that arena or into that stadium,that�s it. There�s no more wars in countries and politics and vote for me don�t vote for this,because this is just supposed to be a smile and a little bit of sweat.� �We�re all a part of it and that�s why I like to go down and touch the kids in the front row,just getting together with them....I want everybody to have a good time at our shows, i want the kid in the 89th row to say � I swear to god the singer is looking right in my eyes.� " "I get to play so much guitar on this record, whereas in Bon Jovi Richie handled it. This time I get to say something too."Jon On Destination Anywhere "I wrote the title 'destination anywhere' not knowing where I was going, and not caring-just knowing i wanted to go" "I was annoyed by all those stories about my hair and shaving my chest because I didn't want to be one of those guys who was flavor of the month because he's cute. Fortunately I'm still around and I don't have a problem with people saying I've got sex appeal." "A good day to me is one where I'm sitting at hom watchin a movie,hangin with my buds" |
