You've got to watch the politics of AIDS. The politics of AIDS can work both for and against the victims of AIDS.

More quotes by Bono
Religion can be the enemy of God. It's often what happens when God, like Elvis, has left the building.
Bono
Particularly conservative Christians, I was very angry that they were not involved more in the AIDS emergency.
Bono
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.
Bono
We thought that we had the answers, it was the questions we had wrong.
Bono
Stop asking God to bless what you're doing. Find out what God's doing. It's already blessed.
Bono
You know, God has some really weird kids, and I find it hard to be in their company most of the time.
Bono
Music fills in for words a lot of the time when people don't know what to say, and I think music can be more eloquent than words.
Bono
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.
Bono
Facts, like people, want to be free - and when they're free, liberty is usually around the corner.
Bono
I get to hear the really good or the really bad things in the press, but I don't read it. I can afford to say that because public opinion does not drive U2's audience.
Bono
I remember how my mother would bring us to chapel on Sundays... and my father used to wait outside. One of the things that I picked up from my father and my mother was the sense that religion often gets in the way of God. For me, at least, it got in the way.
Bono
Rock stars are good at making noise.
Bono
But more than anything else, for the British folks Irish people were all terrorists. So when we went to Britain, it was always a lot of resistance to U2. And that's why we came to America.
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
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
If I don't understand it, it must be art.
Bono
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. The New Testament, on the other hand, we look across at a Jesus who looks familiar, horizontal. The combination is what makes the Cross.
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
It's so sweet, I feel like my teeth are rotting when I listen to the radio.
Bono
You see, Africa makes a fool of our idea of justice. It makes a farce of our idea of equality. It mocks our pieties. It doubts our concern. It questions our commitment. Because there is no way we can look at what's happening in Africa, and if we're honest, conclude that it would ever be allowed to happen anywhere else.
Bono
