More U2 quotes...

Bono:
"There's a lot of bullshit in rock and roll, but some of the bullshit is pretty cool."

"I've found that there's enough subject matter in my heart to keep me going."

"The Holy Spirit is like a woman. Undependable. Joke! Joke!"

"We don't write music for food; we write music for sex. Dinner parties just aren't
our thing."

more to come...

Larry:
If I had a head like that I'd bleedin' bury it!

"Coming to a rock?n?roll gig and watching TV... what more could
you ask for?"

"I look cool, I am cool"

"We've all made enough money to live for the rest of our lives quite
comfortably. That's enough money."

Edgie:
"There's nobody to tell you that you're being a complete arsehole- which is maybe what's
good about being in a band."

When asked what he'd like to have that he doesn't: "A clone. A clone with good timing so I
could send him off to do all the things that I can't do."

When asked what he does when he returns home after a tour: "I have a terrible habit of
finding really unimportant, trivial, manual things to do. I'll go mow the lawn, or find
some piece of furniture that needs varnishing, or...paint the cat."

"I think this is where U2's future lies. Choreography. Four Tops type stuff."

"I don't feel that attached to my instruments. It's almost like I'm
going to dominate them in some sort of way. I don't feel like
they're part of me; they stand between me and something new."

Sparky:
"Larry's always been noticed cos he's the pretty one."

"Although it's a confusing time, I think it is genuinely exciting. I
think the world is filled with possibilities at the moment."

"Why Berlin? I can't really remember back that far!"

It's taken us fifteen years to get an image together, or indeed to realize that
image is important. And not important."

Where was he three weeks ago

"I have never tried to write this thing called a song that's played on radios all around the world, that window-cleaners hum, that people listen to in traffic jams. I was never interested in song: U2 came about through a sound.
Bono on his songwriting style (or the lack of it).

"It was a pretty special couple of years. I mean it was a pretty mad couple of years where reality and fantasy and everything got kinda mixed up big time."
Adam describes the atmosphere of the ZooTV tour, 1993.

"We've been trying to work out how to get all the Achtung Baby sounds live. Basically we can do it if Edge plays something different with every one of his appendages."
Bono pushes Edge to the limit, January 1992.

"Every album is difficult. If it was easy, we'd make one a month."
Edge on the problems of making an album, 2000.

"Then Bono arrived, and he meant to play the guitar, but he couldn't play very well, so he started to sing. He couldn't do that either. But he was such a charismatic character that he was in the band anyway, as soon as he arrived. I was in charge for the first five minutes, but as soon as Bono got there, I was out of a job."
Larry describes Bono's persona, April 1987.

Rock and roll gives people a chance not to grow up. It puts them in a glass case and protects them from the real world of where they're gonna get their next meal. Bono

First among the people who interest me are the mad ones. The ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, destroyed, everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing. The ones who burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars. -Bono

We make music you can have sex to - Bono

some great Ali quotes!

"Yeah, Bono's always talking about how he's half Catholic and half Protestant. Now we know which half is Catholic." -Ali, about her pregnancy, on The Late Late Show, 12.15.00


"Ali, my missus says "We are not 50,000 people...SHUT UP!" - Bono on Radio 1

LOL, love that Ali

It doesn't matter what songs we sing. I'm a drummer, chicks dig me-Larry (we sure do Larry)

Kurt Loder-Surely, there's more to it than that

Larry-Don't call me Shirley (LOL)

I invented cool, and you're on a boat with ME-Larry to Bill Flannigan

Men should be encouraged to look at each other's penises-Adam Clayton

I can't quite remember who's idea it was. I'll I know is Larry looked like some sort of porn star, Edge looked like his sister Jill, Adam hasn't taken off the dress and I looked like Barbara Bush-Bono on the "One" drag video
