I try to look at most of my solos as a musical piece within the song, not, say, showing off.

Stand on the stage in front of 15 people or 15,000. Have them look up to you and tell you how wonderful you are, and if you don't think that's a great feeling, okay, then you're unlike me.

A man can never have too many pairs of sunglasses or too many guitars.

Be your own teacher. Let life write your textbook.

Dare to fail. If you never fail, you're never taken risks and that's no way to take on this life.

Rock and roll is a contact sport. I enjoy playing the tunes that really get the people going.

I just want to thank everyone for their support. Sometimes friends need the help of their friends to get by.

You know, no matter what I am or what I do for a living, I'm still, you know, the husband and the dad and the protector of the house, and I have to be conscientious about that.

We've been around for almost three decades now - there's about three generations of Bon Jovi fans.

You know, when you're an actor, you want to go to Hollywood. When you're a musician, you want to go to Nashville.

There's nothing like a love for our children. I love being a papa, and that's the truth.

Never let your fears hold you back. Fears are not easily overcome but when you take the time to be brave it is worth the struggle.

When we die, we go into the arms of those who remember us.

Good leaders are scarce; so I'm following myself.

It's good to wander into the studio and walk out with something that's better than you'd imagined it to be. If everything was as you imagined it to be, it just wouldn't be as much fun.

If the Republicans get control back of the United States Senate, we will no longer have a check and balance on the White House, on the Republican Congress.

I am egotistical, that I won't deny...I do think I'm good - in fact, I know I'm good...but I know that I don't appeal to everybody.

Start small and dream big.

I truly believe that our major social ills would disappear if we just spent our lives perfecting the art of connecting with each other.

Yoga is a dance within…and then something inside you grows so big, it spills out like champagne, that’s when you dance on the outside.

The most important thing people can do is refuse to have any resistance to staying connected to their source. People resist being able to attract abundance into their lives.
