Jon Bon Jovi is getting honest about his marriage.

In an interview with Michael Strahan for ABC News, the rock icon, 62, opened up about his relationship with his wife of 35 years — Dorothea Bongiovi, with whom he shares daughter Stephanie and sons Jesse, Jacob and Romeo — and being a sex symbol.

Jon was admittedly “not a saint.”

“I got away with murder. I’ll say it again on camera. I’m a rock ‘n’ roll star. I’m not a saint. I’m not saying there weren’t 100 girls in my life. I’m Jon Bon Jovi; it was pretty good,” he said.

Jon continued: “But if you thought I was ever going to jeopardize my anything for believing the narcissist in me was real, what a stupid thing to do. What kind of excesses does a man need that’s gonna fuel that fire? It’s just not worth it. Not worth it.”

The “It’s My Life” singer said that his wife is the reason this “world revolves.”

“There is no doubt in my mind that this world revolves because of her, because of what she did to keep the kids right, what she does to keep me right, what we do together to keep it right,” Jon said. “No doubt about it.”

He continued: “She’s not afraid to call me out on something, but she’s also there when I call, and I’m there for her when she falls. No matter where I went in my career — the ups or the downs — we did it together.”

Last week, Jon opened up to PEOPLE about eloping with his high school sweetheart Bongiovi, 61, in April 1989, five years after Bon Jovi’s debut single “Runaway” kickstarted their road to fame.

At the time the couple tied the knot, the “Always” performer was on tour.

Once news about their nuptials went public, “it shocked a lot of people — shocked about everybody: the band, management, agents, lawyers, parents, you name it,’” Bon Jovi recalled.

He continued: “It’s a shame because it should have been a beautiful moment, but after we did it, people were trying to take it away, until I stood up and went, ‘Wait a minute, why are we living our life for anyone else?’ And 35 years later, we’re still married.”
