“We're working the world with a new record. We've been out touring for six months. We've got four more to go. This is great.”
Jon Bon Jovi
“I guess the world isn't as bad as we're brought up to believe it is. Maybe all we're doing is spreading that smile a little bit.”
“Success is falling nine times and getting up ten.”
“Richie has lost 20 lbs, is rock hard, and plays his ass off”
“This record is all about Richie and his gettin' it back together...if you see him you're not gonna believe how great he looks and how hard he works which is evident on the record.”
“I'm so proud of Richie and so excited to talk about where he's been and where he is. And I mean he's just in great physical and mental shape, he's rebounded from, you know, the couple years that he wasn't doing so well. Uhm...and it's really evident on this record. But we are very, very close. We are like best friends and brothers and there's a lot of mutual admiration and trust and it's based on a real, honest to God friedship.”
“When Richie and I sing well together, that's the magic: Sometimes when I play without the band and I use side musicians it's always somebody trying to imitate Richie. When Richie and I sing together there is nothing like it; that is what the magic of it is; that is what a band is about.”
