Here ya go! Taken from this site: http://www.catnchicks.homestead.com/InterviewIndex.html


Nikki Stix " ...I remember being on MTV's Headbanger's Ball saying, 'You have to check out Nirvana.' The next day, they were in, we were old hat. See, there was Poison, Ratt, Warrant, some really b-rated bands. Others like Bon Jovi and Def Leppard wrote really class-A music. We'll see who stands the test of time. If you stagnate, you'll bore the snot out of people" (haha)


Tom Kiefer -singer from Cinderella We've been having a lot of fun on the road with Jon and the boys," "It's great because he lets us whatever we want to do," Keifer said. "Some bands like to stifle their opening acts so that they'll look better by comparison, but Jon isn't concerned about that. He knows how good his band is, and he knows we can hold our own against him."


Dave "Snake" Sabo : Jon Bon Jovi = Childhood friend, shrewd businessman, great songwriter. I learned and learn so much from him, both good and bad. The most driven individual I have ever met


Dave "Snake" Sabo- Skid Row (on Jon's fight with Sebastion Bach) What happened was, it was the 2nd to the last night of the tour, and the BonJovi crew were doing the usual end of the tour antics, dumping milk on us, throwing eggs at us while we were onstage, all of it harmless. So, as this is happening, Sebastian announces to the crowd "Jon BonJovi should come up here and get a Piece of ME", and then we went into the song. He didn't say this maliciously at all. He said it in good fun, because we all thought Jon was behind it all. Well, after our set, I'm walking up the ramp of the arena, and I see Jon walking towards me. I start laughing and say to him "man, you really got us, that was awesome!" And he walks right past me with this scowl on his face headed right towards Baz. So, I stop and turn around, because I have this bad feeling in me, and I see Baz smiling and going to give Jon a high-five and says, "You guys totally got us," then I see Jon throw a punch at Baz and I'm like "What the **** is going on?". So Baz throws a punch back at him then a ton of security jump in and separates the two of them, but as they're heading back to our dressing rooms they're still yelling and screaming at each other and I still don't know why. As it turns out, Jon had nothing to do with any of the end-of-tour- stuff and he thought that Baz called him a pussy on stage, when, in fact, Baz was just introducing Piece of Me! To this day I defend Baz on this because he did nothing wrong and it was a completely ridiculous incident.


Emilio Estevez sums up Jon's appeal: "The thing about Jon is he definitely has star quality - the guy is terminally handsome, he's got great presence, he's got a great voice, and he's very tenacious."


Richie Sambora on Jon : "Jon's a front man, in my opinion he's the best in the business. Still to this day, I'm sitting right next to him and I just go, 'This guy is amazing."


Sebastian Bach on Jon : "Bon Jovi's a faggot and I hate his guts. I don't want to talk about Bon Jovi. Bon Jovi sucks." -, SUGAR Interview, December 17, 1999. (funny thats how I feel about "Baz", lol)
("BAZ" is currently starring as Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar, umm,.. geez Baz, WhatWouldJesusDo ?)


Ted Nugent - "Jon's a cutie -pie"


Owen Gleiberman, film critic "Most rock stars, if they try to get in to the movie game, they want to do some big star vehicle befitting their majesty, like Tommy or Evita. And Jon, I think, has done it in a different way, with a refreshing modesty, he has taken small parts, character parts, he's more serious about being an actor than most rock stars have been."


Elizabeth Perkins : "There's this duality to him that's really enticing, because he has this enormous charisma coupled with this unbelievable down-to-earth quality that you don't see very often."


Kevin Bacon : "If he goes and does a concert in Giant's Stadium, there's gonna be a sound check and 50,000 people are gonna want to rip his clothes off, it's like 'yeah, I've done that.' But I bet you that there is a certain element of danger going on to a set and working with other actors, a director throwing him something - these kinds of things give him that feeling of butterflies that I think is an important part of the creative process."
