More from Bono
It’s annoying, but justice and equality are mates. Aren’t they? Justice always wants to hang out with equality. And equality is a real pain.
BonoBono Celebrity is ridiculous and silly and it’s mad that people like me are listened to – you know, rap stars and movie stars.
BonoBono What turns me on about the digital age, what excited me personally, is that you have closed the gap between dreaming and doing. You see, it used to be that if you wanted to make a record of a song, you needed a studio and a producer. Now, you need a laptop.
BonoBono But with Christ, we have access in a one-to-one relationship, for, as in the Old Testament, it was more one of worship and awe, a vertical relationship.
BonoBono Peace’ is when nobody’s shooting. A ‘just peace’ is when our side gets what it wants.
Bill MauldinBill Mauldin It’s still very difficult for me to rely. Your weakness, the blessing of your weakness is it forces you into friendships. The things that you lack, you look for in others.
BonoBono From the start it has been the theatre’s business to entertain people … it needs no other passport than fun.
Bertolt BrechtBertolt Brecht 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 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!
