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.

More quotes by Bono
Convictions, in the end, they can be dangerous, but a world without them is just kind of an awful kind of gray, amorphous mass.
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
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
You know, God has some really weird kids, and I find it hard to be in their company most of the time.
Bono
Where you live in the world should not determine whether you live in the world.
Bono
When a nation is over-reliant on one or two commodities like oil or precious minerals, corrupt government ministers and their dodgy associates hoard profits and taxes instead of properly allocating them to schools and hospitals.
Bono
Every artist is a cannibal/every poet is a thief/all kill for inspiration/and then sing about the grief.
Bono
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.
Bono
I used to - my earliest memory of waking up with a melody in my head was, you know, 8, 9, 10. I've always heard kind of melodies in my head.
Bono
Music can change the world because it can change people.
Bono
Because you know when you first become famous, you start walking a little different because people are staring at you.
Bono
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.
Bono
The less you know, the more you believe.
Bono
Particularly conservative Christians, I was very angry that they were not involved more in the AIDS emergency.
Bono
If I don't understand it, it must be art.
Bono
The human heart is greedy it will use religion, color, or any other excuse to justify its greed. Blame the human heart.
Bono
It's stasis that kills you off in the end, not ambition.
Bono
I put Catholic guilt to work pretty good for a rich rock star.
Bono
U2 was involved in Live Aid, and I ended up going to Ethiopia and working there for some time with my wife, Ali.
Bono
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.
Bono
