Religion can be the enemy of God. It's often what happens when God, like Elvis, has left the building.

I wouldn't run for President. I wouldn't want to move to a smaller house.

Rock 'n' roll is ridiculous. It's absurd. In the past, U2 was trying to duck that. Now we're wrapping our arms around it and giving it a great big kiss.

You know, God has some really weird kids, and I find it hard to be in their company most of the time.

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.

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.

It'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.

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.

Sadly, I do my homework. I've a soft spot for the boring minutiae. I read the Charter of the United Nations before meeting with Kofi Annan. I read the Meltzer report, and then I'll read C. Fred Bergsten's defense of institutions like the World Bank and the I.M.F. It's embarrassing to admit.

It's so sweet, I feel like my teeth are rotting when I listen to the radio.

I put Catholic guilt to work pretty good for a rich rock star.

Sometimes religion gets in the way of God.

Anyone that's involved in development has discovered that all the good work that's been done in development has been undone by the AIDS emergency.

Music can change the world because it can change people.

U2 is sort of song writing by accident really. We don't really know what we're doing and when we do, it doesn't seem to help.
Bono

The 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.

My understanding of the Scriptures has been made simple by the person of Christ.

God's Spirit moves through us and the world at a pace that can never be constricted by any one religious paradigm.

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.
