“Don't get too comfortable with who you are at any given time - you may miss the opportunity to become who you want to be.”
Jon Bon Jovi
“Success is falling nine times and getting up ten.”
“We'll see how it goes. That will give him some more time to heal.”
“I just don't have the focus. So all writing stops. And you need something to kick-start it. Nashville made sense on several occasions.”
“I thought Jon was so charismatic. It was just magic. I went backstage kneeled down on my knee and said, "Here I am!" I said: "I have made some records before and I'm a pro and I'm not full of baloney. We should get together and try something." He was kinda, "Hey, uh, who is this guy? What's going on?" But about a week later I got a call, inviting me to arehearsal. By the time Jon got to the rehearsal I had whipped the band into shape. He came in, listened to it, and said: "You're hired."”
Richie Sambora
“Jon is very smart, he's a great frontman, a very talented musician. He's a very dedicated guy, very focused. He always had a good heart, always took care of the people in the band. It's very important for everybody to take care of each other, especially the band leader, and Jon's clearly the band leader. He looked out for us.”
“It's a much more jaded, cynical, kind of (take on the phrase). It was really shaped by what was the election last time. And the results of the election. But you know, in order to take the moral high ground, just the opinion in the song is, 'You have your opinion. I have mine. And don't get in my face about it. Have a nice day.' It's a very Jersey way of twisting the words.”
