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.

I will never be a career actor, I don't think. I don't feel that I have the skill set to jump into it that way, although I wouldn't mind giving it a try.

I've often thought that it would be great to do some acting because nobody would think that I would be able to do it and it scares the living hell out of me.

It doesn't matter what songs we sing. I'm a drummer. Chicks dig me.

Unfortunately, as far as the music is concerned, what defines relevance is whether you are on the radio or whether you are on the cover of a magazine or whether you're winning MTV awards, and so on and so forth.

The longer you've been acting, normally, the better you are at it. As a musician, it doesn't work like that.

There's a thin line between interesting music and self-indulgence. We crossed it on the Passengers record.
