I wouldn’t run for President. I wouldn’t want to move to a smaller house.
BONOI wouldn’t run for President. I wouldn’t want to move to a smaller house.
BONOI think carrying moral baggage is very dangerous for an artist. If you have a duty, it’s to be true and not cover up the cracks.
BONOWhat I like about pop music, and why I’m still attracted to it, is that in the end it becomes our folk music.
BONOI’ve learned to speak in a lot of tongues, and I can live with the bellicose language of some fervent, fire-breathing Christians, sure.
BONOEveryone’s got one but some are blacker and wider than others. It’s a feeling of being abandoned,cut adrift in space and time-sometimes following the loss of a loved one.
BONOI’m as skeptical as anyone would be about celebrities and causes – and I will dare to say to you that I don’t think of myself as a celebrity per se.
BONOIt’s much easier to be successful than it is to be relevant. The tricks won’t keep you relevant. Tricks might keep you popular for a while, but in all honesty,
BONOThe less you know, the more you believe.
BONOIf September 11th has taught us anything, it’s certainly that the world has never been so interdependent. It is impossible now to be an island of prosperity in a sea of despair.
BONOJesus, Jesus help me. I’m alone in this world.
BONOThe great music for so many artists – the Beatles, the Rolling Stones – was always at the moment when they were closest to pop. It would be easy for U2 to go off and have a concept album, but I want us to stay in the pop fray.
BONOIt’s quite widespread in rock culture, that mythology of the shooting star. I’d rather be the North star. As bob (Dylan) says, you can navigate by it.
BONOConvictions, in the end, they can be dangerous, but a world without them is just kind of an awful kind of gray, amorphous mass.
BONOTechnology is huge; I wanted to learn about it. People might say that’s odd, but I think it’s odd if artists aren’t interested in the world around them. I’m always chasing that.
BONOI don’t know how U2 will stay relevant. I know we’ve got a future. I know we can fill stadiums. And yet with every record, I think, ‘Is this it? Are we still relevant?’
BONOThe great gifts of models are not that they’re more beautiful than the next person, it’s that they’re able to be photographed and not be self-conscious.
