Richie Sambora

I might have been a psychologist. It interests me.

I will do anything for anybody that asks me to do anything for a kid.

You look at your bank account, and you see the currency of love and happiness is more important than the currency of money.

When you're sick on the road, it's the worst. That's when you become the most vulnerable and neurotic. You become scared. If I had a cold or a chest infection, and I had to sing all those high parts, there was stage fright.

I was the lead singer in a lot of the bands I was in. You have to be comfortable. You gotta get up there and sell the song. You have to get up there and sell the lyric. You gotta be able to feel it.

Being in America isn't old-hat - it's where we're from - but I get excited to be in other parts of the world like Athens and Croatia, which were quite cool. I'm a sightseer. I go see the sights and museums. I'm into that kind of thing.

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.

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

I didn't check into rehab. Instead of me heading into a place - I was just drinking too much and I needed to get my life together. I'm still in therapy and stuff like that, but it's good. I'm great. I feel fine.

I love being a dad. I'd have more kids if I could. I'd take a couple more, one or two more before I croak.

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

The early Bon Jovi stuff I can't stand. I just think we didn't have our stylistic voice. But some people love some of that stuff.
