"When I come home, that’s the song my wife plays, ‘In A Little While’ by U2. She gets it on right away and that’s my song. And I’m singing it with Bono and my wife gets to sit in the front row watching me do it."

"I must tell you that I owe more than my spoiled lifestyle to rock music - I owe my worldview. Music was like an alarm clock for me as a teenager and still keeps me awake from falling asleep in the comforts of my freedom. Rock music to me is rebel music. But rebelling against what? In the 50s it was sexual mores and double standards. In the 60s it was the Vietnam War and racial and social inequality. What are we rebelling against now? If I am honest, I’m rebelling against my own indifference. I am rebelling against the idea that the world is the way the world is and there’s not a damned thing I can do about it. So I’m trying to do a damned thing. But fighting my indifference is my own problem. What’s your problem? What’s the hole in your heart?"

“I’m a scribbling, cigar-smoking, wine-drinking, Bible-reading band man. A show-off who loves to paint pictures of what I can’t see. A husband, father, friend of the poor and sometimes the rich. An activist traveling salesman of ideas. Chess player, part-time rock star, and opera singer in the loudest folk group in the world.”

"But we’ve got to follow through our ideals or we betray something at the heart of who we are. Outside these gates, and even within them, the culture of idealism is under siege, beset by materialism and narcissism and all the other ‘isms’ of indifference."
-Bono (via momentofsurrender4)
"We are working on the next album. According to Bono, it may be published tomorrow but I think it will take a little longer."

"Don’t imagine the audience doesn’t know who you are - they really do… in a very intimate way. You live in their ear after all, just next door to the brain, down the hall to the bedroom of their heart. Especially if they sleep with earphones. Very, very intimate. They have heard the sound of your spirit snap and stretch. (Truth is, you probably don’t know who you are)."

“I think the music is much better than the musician, but also the audience is as much applauding itself as us. One of the things people forget about these large concerts is that the audience have heard the records, it knows the songs from the radio and the music has become part of their lives. When they hear those songs their own selves are caught up in them and they are in some way applauding the connection.”

"I don’t see myself as beautiful, because I can see a lot of flaws. People have really odd opinions. They tell me I’m skinny, as if that’s supposed to make me happy."
