More quotes by Bono
The strangest thing has happened. I really missed my dog. That's never happened to me before. You know, on a long tour you do hear people saying they miss their pets. I never have. But last night I started really missing my dog. It's very odd, 'cause I don't have a dog.
Bono
When you truly accept that those children in some far off place in the global village have the same value as you in God's eyes or even in just your eyes, then your life is forever changed you see something that you can't un-see.
Bono
Hanging out with politicians and corporations is very unhip work. But I think that the U2 audience have turned out to be incredibly subtle in their understanding.
Bono
Because you know when you first become famous, you start walking a little different because people are staring at you.
Bono
You know, God has some really weird kids, and I find it hard to be in their company most of the time.
Bono
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
At the heart of the Irish economy has always been the philosophy of tax competitiveness. On the cranky left, that is very annoying I can see that.
Bono
It'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, I 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?'
Bono
Religion can be the enemy of God. It's often what happens when God, like Elvis, has left the building.
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.
Bono
Actually oddly enough, I think my work, the activism, will be forgotten. And I hope it will. Because I hope those problems will have gone away.
Bono
It's not a coincidence that in the Scriptures, poverty is mentioned more than 2,100 times. It's not an accident. That's a lot of air time, 2,100 mentions.
Bono
Smack in the centre of contradiction is the place to be.
Bono
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
I wouldn't run for President. I wouldn't want to move to a smaller house.
Bono
When you align yourself with God's purpose as described in the Scriptures, something special happens to your life.
Bono
In my view, the only thing worse than a rock star is a rock star with a conscience.
Bono
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
It's stasis that kills you off in the end, not ambition.
Bono
I have been working for Africans since I was 18, when I got involved with the Nelson Mandela concerts. I got involved with debt cancellation because Desmond Tutu demanded that the world respond to that situation.
