'People had come to me over the years, saying, 'Why don’t you get into movies?' But the truth is, I had too much respect for acting and actors to think that just because I was a singer in a rock band I could do this.' - BonJovi

BON JOVI: Yeah, they sold in the eight digits. I was burnt out, physically and mentally. I was disillusioned. I got rid of the managers, agents, lawyers, almost everything. Eventually, I came out of my shell, started writing material again, and the band came back together and we progressed.

BON JOVI: Hey, I know I’ve sold more than 75 million albums, and that’s a lot of fucking records. I’ve outsold my peers. But I don’t feel the need to puff my chest out.BON JOVI: Sure, duringAnd a lot of that arrogance, in retrospect, was out of fear of the success not being there forever. People who have to tell you how successful they are aren’t really successful. That’s something I learned sweeping floors at this recording studio called the Power Station.

BON JOVI: Second place, sure. I’ve known the guy since I was 16, when I first played with him. We’ve played countless bars together. Obviously, I’m always going to be in the guy’s shadow, coming from the same place but later. But I don’t resent that. I would never have wanted to be a musician had it not been for Bruce and the E Street Band. And Southside Johnny. And Little Steven. Those were my heroes. So yes, I’m in Bruce’s shadow. But no, I don’t want to be him.BON JOVI: Yeah.

I’m not just talking about the work facts, but the personal facts, too. How many guys would have left their wives when they found fame and fortune? Why would I get rid of my wife for, you know, Michelle Pfeiffer? It would be a stupid move. How many guys would have left their friends, fired the band? I haven’t, because these were people who believed in me 17 years ago. I wouldn’t be able to sleep or go on if I didn’t acknowledge them and give back to the people who gave to me.
