When I was growing up I actually was into Bon Jovi!

I listen to so many different kinds of music – I mean, I listen to everything. I listen to everything from Bon Jovi to Taylor Swift. It just goes everywhere.

It’s a little bit more like I want to give this to the people that are really into it first – I don’t have a lot of desire to be like Bon Jovi or something like that, I really want to concentrate on the music.

Queen and Bon Jovi, Aerosmith and Guns N’ Roses – I had a huge rock-band mania. I play a little bit of drums.

It was great to be the rock comic, the shock comic. But after you‘ve played Giants Stadium with Bon Jovi in front of 82,000 people, after you’ve done the ‘Wild Thing’ video with Jessica Hahn and every rock band from hell, you’re not gonna top that.

The movies are celluloid hemorrhoids. No, worse: They’re celluloid Bon Jovi.

New Jersey is a great place to live. And we have given some of the best talent to the world, from Jack Nicholson, John Travolta, to Jerry Lewis to Bon Jovi to Frank Sinatra.

Bon Jovi’s trick is to use heavy-metal chords and still sound absolutely safe. Rock & roll used to be rebellion disguised as commercialism; now so much of it is commercialism disguised as rebellion.
