“If I look at someone like Sinatra, who toured until he was 80 and made 60 movies, that would be a great life to have.”
Jon Bon Jovi

“We recorded the third album in Vancouver. There were a lot of strip bars, and in these strip bars the girls would be totally nude. And in this nude strip bar there were these showers, and then they would take the soap, and they would soap up, and they would come down the pole, and we were very young, and…”

Richie Sambora
“JON: I played a little trumpet in high school, you know, in a marching band. I had one of those things, the cotton, cute hat. Sexiest rock star in the world right there! RICHIE: I didn’t know that… I know the guy for 26 years, and I didn’t know he was in a marching band. That’s cool! JON: Richie was in a band… RICHIE: NOT IN A MARCHING BAND!!!”
Jon & Richie (Bon Jovi)
“JON: Here’s a little known fact. Richie, David and I were all born in the same hospital, delivered by the same baby doctor. Dr. Greenburg. DAVID: Yeah, he went; Bon Jovi, Bon Jovi, Bon Jovi.”

“Jon is a guy who saddles himself with lots of responsibility. He loves that, drives on it. That’s where he comes from, but I never saw anybody do it better than him. It’s not luck, it’s thinking about it, it’s to resolve lots of trial and error in his mind. He’s more intense than I am, that’s for sure.”
