my fave Bono quote!

[Niamh_Saoirse]

Kel, Souly...

[souLnation2002]

My favorite quotes include:

"It's good to be back in Boston".....
I usually get my hair cut in Boston"

BP: Did you ever think you were going to die?
LARRY: Yes, only on the back of Bono's motorbike!
EDGE: Only on the back of Bono's motorbike.
ADAM: Only in the back of Bono's car.
BONO: Die, no. Squashed, yes.

"But I can't imagine Bono in a nine to five job. He would have lost his marbles."
-Ali

Early Friday afternoon, the last day of the week's rehearsals, the band
manuvers through a gauntlet of camera-toting fans at the hotel and
piles into an old white Cadillac convertible.
Drummer Larry Mullen Jr. takes the wheel.
'They never let Bono drive,' manager Paul McGuiness says with a snicker.
Clayton elaborates: 'We don't let Bono drive because he likes to fly.
And he doesn't really acknowledge corners.
Larry knows the rules of the road.'"
-USA Today 1992

“Almost a saint, but an inspired sinner” — The Edge describes Bono

[MissMaCo]

Here are some few quotes I like :

Have you seen it in your mind's eyes, U2 as four guys, up on stage, at the age of 60 ?
- Gosh. A terrifying thought. Standing there with deep lines. Turn around and there's Larry Mullen, still looking 14 !

Ali doesn't like violent movies. In fact she often becomes violent at them. She bit me once during "Scarface". She literally bit my shoulder and I had to leave !...

(about Ali, a few hours before she gave birth to John) :
... I went upstairs and I found her sitting on the bed with a warpaint on and I thought : "This is a bit too much". But in fact, she'd put a facepack on...

These are two of my favorites, also! I can sooo see Larry still looking eternally young!

One of my favorite bits in Boston is when Bono says something about Larry starting the band when he was 14, then he said "he still is!" It shows Larry laughing, but it's one of those "yeah-I'm-laughing-now-but-wait-til-I-get-you-backstage-you-wanker" laughs! Love it!!

yes, that was a great interview

[kellyahern]

"And humor and laughter, to me, is the proof of the presence of freedom"

BP: Who's your hero?
Bono: Ali. She's so sane although she chooses to live with me

Q : "Most interesting question asked recently by a fan?"
Bono : "Have you seen Bono?"

thanks olive

I can't find the other one I'm looking for, it was something like "I believe in frisbeetarianism - That when you die, your spirit floats up to the ceiling and gets stuck there" It was something like that - funny Bono

[luvsU2]

Thanks Kelly for posting Olive's site. I love it. Today, I found this great quote
"Our music is rooted in the feeling that much more is possible than you think."
-- Bono, 2003

So true!

I also like the one where they're all asked who would win in a fight between the four of them.

Hehe, something tells me that she's absolutely right about that. .

Also, luvsU2, yeah, you're right, that quote is very true. .

I know some people who often say that U2 are too serious and have no sense of humour... Well guys, have a look at this thread !

Thanks Edgespet

Duck Bono!

One of my fav quotes is when Bono says "when i come home from a tour, Ali sees me as a piece of litter she wants to tidy away" Poor thing
