Bono

“This place saved our musical lives,”

“It’s the sound of four men, who feel like their lives depend on it. I remind them, they do,”

“Nobody needs a new U2 album unless it’s an extraordinary one. I’m feeling very strong about it.”

“songs for the kitchen, songs for the speedway, the garage [and] songs for every part of your life”

“I can pull off the swagger. I can do the macho thing. I’m Irish. I can give you lots of that. But at this point, I just thought it would be better to be closer to who I am when I’m at my most insecure, I suppose.”

“For such a demonstrative performer as I am with U2, (I learned) that just turning your head is enough.”

“The lens will know if you’re lying.”

“The face, after a while, it just is a map. It tells a story of where you’ve been,”

“There’s a sense of undressing yourself in taking off the armor and your sword and your shield and just letting people in,”

“I ended up, as much as loving my father, I ended up liking him,”

“No, so I was in a different part of the class. But I remember that feeling, you know, because I knew I could do this. I know I don't know how to play an instrument, sir! But I have these melodies in my head, and I have words and I have things I want to say.”

“How casually our destiny arrives,”

“There is no single strand to the creative life,”

“W. B. Yeats was buried just down the road,”

“It wouldn’t be fair to say we could live an anonymous life here,”

“You’re pushing a rock up a hill,”

“If you have a place like this, lots of people should use it,”

“but the French are so respectful. You could almost forget that you weren’t anonymous.”

“Larry’s back from injury,”

“He’s got all the best lines!”

“If I turn to the left, I’m younger,”

“And that’s the person who played Bono.”

“If I turn to the right, I’m older. I’m the person who played my father,”

“I’ve woken up in the sun.”

“I can tell you I’ve slept on beaches close to here,”

“Frontman. Yeah. Probably more front than substance … and faith.”

“Front is another word for that,”

“And Paul is not one of them!”

“It's the thing. It's when you find the thing.”

“I remember this feeling of, 'I can do this,'”
