"I got away with murder. I say it again on camera," he added. "I'm a rock and roll star. I'm not a saint. You know, I'm not saying that, that there weren't a hundred girls in my life. I'm Jon Bon Jovi. It was pretty good."

Despite all the attention he received from being in the spotlight, Jon Bon Jovi said they weren't worth being entertained.

"If you think I was ever gonna jeopardize anything for believing the narcissist in me was real? What a stupid thing to do," he said. "What kind of excess does a man need that's gonna fuel that fire. It is just not worth it. Not worth it."
