U2 was involved in Live Aid, and I ended up going to Ethiopia and working there for some time with my wife, Ali.

Bono

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.

It is impossible to meet God without abandon, without exposing yourself, being raw.
BONO

Abandon Exposing Impossible Yourself
You can never completely fill that hole-you can try with songs,family,faith and by living a full life…but when things are silent, you can still hear the hissing of what’s missing.
BONO

Hissing Life Living Missing
Poverty breeds despair. We know this. Despair breeds violence. We know this. In turbulent times, isn’t it cheaper, and smarter, to make friends out of potential enemies than to defend yourself against them later?
BONO

Despair Enemy Poverty
Every artist is a cannibal/every poet is a thief/all kill for inspiration/and then sing about the grief.
BONO

Artist Grief Inspiration
Christians are hard to tolerate; I don’t know how Jesus does it
BONO

Christian Jesus Tolerate
The idea that there is one kind of African is of course ridiculous. Sometimes African entrepreneurs want to kill you because you are saying public health is the priority, not roads.

Technology 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.
BONO

Artist Technology Thinking
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.
BONO

Blessing Looks Weakness
If 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.

The fact is that ours is the first generation that can look disease and extreme poverty in the eye, look across the ocean to Africa, and say this, and mean it. We do not have to stand for this. A whole continent written off – we do not have to stand for this.
BONO

Eye Mean Ocean
There’s no retirement for an artist,its your way of living so theres no end to it.
BONO

U2 is an original species… there are colours and feelings and emotional terrain that we occupy that is ours and ours alone.
BONO

Emotional Feelings Originality
Distance does not decide who is your brother and who is not. The church is going to have to become the conscience of the free market if it’s to have any meaning in this world – and stop being its apologist.
BONO

Brother Distance Unity
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.
