JON BON JOVI

There's a vintage which comes with age and experience.

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.

My philanthropy is no relation to anybody else's. None. My philanthropy and what we do at the foundation speaks for itself and has no relation to anyone's.

Women rule the world. It's not really worth fighting because they know what they're doing. Ask Napoleon. Ask Adam. Ask Richard Burton or Richie Sambora. Many a man has crumbled.

I was just another long-haired teenage kid with visions of grandeur, strumming a tennis racket or a broom in front of his bedroom mirror.

What drew me to politics in the first place was the fact that I wanted to have a place to take a stand and use my voice to express what I believed in. But I've no longer got any political aspirations. I feel that as a politician, fifty per cent of people would hate you before you even left the house.

I always think I'm the Tom Cruise of music - a lot of success and fans, but no critics, darling.

The Rolling Stones set the bar to where I look to as a band. But I don't envision myself touring in the way they do. My knees won't hold out.

Don't waste your time away thinkin' 'bout yesterday's blues.

I'm not a big disco guy.

You know these love letters mix with whisky, just don't light a match when you kiss me.

There are those who advocate, and those who do. I'm not trying to slight my peers, but there is a difference between using a soapbox and actually getting your hands dirty. I've spent not only years and millions of dollars but hours and hours and hours of my time doing what I do, and that's very different from what anyone else is doing.

I'm a football guy. Baseball, I enjoy it at playoff time.

I want to own an NFL franchise. I understand the business of football.

Piano playing is a dying art. I love the fact that I can be one guy with one instrument evoking an emotional and musical experience.

My health and my family are the core of my being.

Guys will take one pair of jeans, five T-shirts and three pair of socks and that'll get you by for 10 weeks.

You just stay the course, and do what it is that you do, and grow while you're doing it. Eventually it will either come full circle, or at least you'll go to bed at night happy.

Nothing is as important as passion. No matter what you want to do with your life, be passionate.

Success is falling nine times and getting up ten.

We've been gone five years and the best they could come up with was boy bands?

Miracles happen everyday, change your perception of what a miracle is and you'll see them all around you.

I pray every day, several times. It soothes me. I don't ask for anything, except for health.

There's not a platinum record hanging in my house anywhere. It doesn't exist here. I'm over it. They're all in the garage, wrapped up in bubblewrap.

I'd crawl over broken glass for Elle MacPherson or Cindy Crawford.
