More quotes by Bono
Africa is a continent in flames. And deep down, if we really accepted that Africans were equal to us, we would all do more to put the fire out. We're standing around with watering cans, when what we really need is the fire brigade.
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
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
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
Religion can be the enemy of God. It's often what happens when God, like Elvis, has left the building.
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
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
I'm never nervous when I go to meet heads of state. I feel they should be nervous, because they are the ones who'll be held accountable for the lives their decisions will impact the most.
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.
Bono
As a rock star, I have two instincts, I want to have fun, and I want to change the world. I have a chance to do both.
Bono
I'm a singer, not a politician, and I think you don't want the two to get confused. It's not OK to be on CNN talking about people starving and then tell the interviewer that your new album is coming out in six months.
Bono
The extraction of oil, coal and minerals brought, and still brings, a cost to the environment.
Bono
It's so sweet, I feel like my teeth are rotting when I listen to the radio.
Bono
Where you live in the world should not determine whether you live in the world.
Bono
Every age has its massive moral blind spots. We might not see them, but our children will.
Bono
Music can change the world because it can change people.
Bono
In my view, the only thing worse than a rock star is a rock star with a conscience.
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
U2 was involved in Live Aid, and I ended up going to Ethiopia and working there for some time with my wife, Ali.
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
