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

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

In my dream, I was drowning my sorrows But my sorrows they learned to swim

When you align yourself with God's purpose as described in the Scriptures, something special happens to your life.

There's no retirement for an artist,its your way of living so theres no end to it.

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.

Sometimes religion gets in the way of God.

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.

What I like about pop music, and why I'm still attracted to it, is that in the end it becomes our folk music.

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

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.

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

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.

U2 was involved in Live Aid, and I ended up going to Ethiopia and working there for some time with my wife, Ali.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

My heroes are the ones who survived doing it wrong, who made mistakes, but recovered from them.
