"My health and my family are the core of my being." — Jon Bon Jovi

My background's working class. My parents had to work to make ends meet. We don't come from any sense of privilege.

I'm not a big disco guy.

Women have always ruled my life, be it my mother, my wife, my assistant, or my daughter, so I don't really fight with them. I relinquished control years ago.

We are at a crossroads in the music business: with the rise of the internet, the world we live in has changed, and the past is not coming back. But I see the glass as half-full: the internet and social networking are new avenues for the next Bob Dylan to be born on.
