Bono

Overcoming my dad telling me that I could never amount to anything is what has made me the megalomaniac that you see today.

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.

Music can change the world because it can change people.

I accept the Old Testament as more of an action movie: blood, car chases, evacuations, a lot of special effects, seas dividing, mass murder, adultery. The children of God are running amok, wayward. Maybe that's why they're so relatable.

U2 is an original species... there are colours and feelings and emotional terrain that we occupy that is ours and ours alone.

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.
