"I'm not a big disco guy." — 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.

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.

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

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.
