Jon Bon Jovi

I just have too much respect for y'all. And I immensely respect the craft that I wouldn't dare think that even Pacino or De Niro, if I put a microphone in their face and said, sing me a song, that they'd be any good at it. I think in order to be good at it, you should learn how to do it.

And so I studied for two years privately, not in classes, but privately until I was confident enough to even try to get an audition. I had too much respect for it.

I had had five records by that point, and Slippery was our third. That was a monster. New Jersey was a monster. Then I wrote the soundtrack to the Young Guns record, and I win all the awards with that. So there was this kind of... stupid ego moment in the band's history where you're like, you think you're too smart.

The incredible thing about starting over with something in the arts that you know nothing about, but you've had so many other life experiences. It brings you a great humility. And so that when you take that back to music, it was... It was an opportunity for me to share that with the guys and for them to then learn from that. And it humbled all of us to go.

I think that's a big reason why when we went into the 90s and the grunge movement happened, we didn't even slow down. We still had hits. We still kept going. We had more international growth than ever. And all of that was, I think, a direct result of my sitting in that basement apartment in Manhattan with Harold Guskin for years you know, getting yelled at.

And so I really, really loved the process of acting. The bitch was whenever, and you guys know this well, I would go in and they'd say, anytime you get a spark in this town, you take off for a year and go on the road. We don't think you're serious about it. I said, I'm fucking serious about it, but you pay me two cents and I'm six on the call sheet. Right. What am I going to do here?
