More quotes by 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
Because you know when you first become famous, you start walking a little different because people are staring at you.
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
Stop asking God to bless what you're doing. Find out what God's doing. It's already blessed.
Bono
You've got to watch the politics of AIDS. The politics of AIDS can work both for and against the victims of AIDS.
Bono
Laughter is eternity if joy is real.
Bono
Smack in the centre of contradiction is the place to be.
Bono
God is so big. It's a gigantic concept in God. The idea that God might love us and be interested in us is kind of huge and gigantic, but we turn it, because we're small-minded, into this tiny, petty, often greedy version of God, that is religion.
Bono
The human heart is greedy it will use religion, color, or any other excuse to justify its greed. Blame the human heart.
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
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
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
What I like about pop music, and why I'm still attracted to it, is that in the end it becomes our folk music.
Bono
I put Catholic guilt to work pretty good for a rich rock star.
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
You know, God has some really weird kids, and I find it hard to be in their company most of the time.
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
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
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.
Bono
