More from Bono
This is the complacency I have run into.
Bob HigginsBob Higgins When those people get up at the Grammys and say, “I thank God”, I always imagine God going, “Oh, don’t, please don’t thank me for that one. Please, oh, that’s an awful one! Don’t thank me for that – that’s a piece of crap !”
BonoBono Sub-Saharan Africa is also home to 400 million of the world’s poorest people.
BonoBono Men habitually use only a small part of the power which they actually possess.
William JamesWilliam James Let’s not bequeath the pop charts to just children.
BonoBono At the end of the day, I want to spend time with my daughter, and this schedule enables me to do that while still having fun hosting ‘106 Park.’ I’m not really eager to get back into music just yet; I’m really eager to get into another movie before I put out an album.
Bow WowBow Wow The only person who ever called me Paul was my father, so I always associate it with doing something wrong, you know. So, you know, occasionally, people will come up to me on the street and try to, you know, ingratiate themselves and call me Paul. I don’t like it, actually.
BonoBono There was a moment when Prince did rock & roll with a sponge-y seductive sound. I think that’s what was in our head for ‘Get On Your Boots.’ But actually, the song is much more punk rock.
BonoBono Music can change the world because it can change people.
BonoBono Everybody thinks I’m at death’s door, but I’m not. There’s nothing seriously wrong with me, and my heart is in 100 percent working order. Anything else you may hear is a damn lie!
Bobby DarinBobby Darin If you pour your life into songs, you want them to be heard. It’s a desire to communicate. A deep desire to communicate inspires songwriting.
BonoBono I think when you dissect a joke too much, you have ruined whatever there is in comedy.
Bob SagetBob Saget That seemed to be the case with most of the teams based in the smaller towns – the fans were more rabid, and they wanted to literally kill the opposition.
Bob CousyBob Cousy At a certain point, I just felt, you know, God is not looking for alms, God is looking for action.
BonoBono Every age has its massive moral blind spots. We might not see them, but our children will.
BonoBono When people say, you know, ‘Good teacher,’ ‘Prophet,’ ‘Really nice guy’… this is not how Jesus thought of Himself. So you’re left with a challenge in that, which is either Jesus was who he said he was or a complete and utter nut case. You have to make a choice on that.
