I think it may have been around the first time he said that "being in a rock band isn't a life sentence."
And in the April 10, 1995 edition of New York Magazine, I read this statement:
Has anybody here heard anything about a distinction like that before?

Of course he had a contract. You think they just shook hands on what Richie's cut would be? Richie even said he and the band were Jon's employees on one of the band DVD's. Maybe WWWB?
And I definitely never heard an interview with Jon saying Richie had no contract. There was an interview where he did say something like "none of it is his" or "he doesn't own any of it" when saying it's fine that Richie left and that being in a band is not a life sentence. Maybe that's what you're thinking of?
