U2 was involved in Live Aid, and I ended up going to Ethiopia and working there for some time with my wife, Ali.

The only person who ever called me Paul was my father, so I always associate it with doing something wrong, you know. So, you know, occasionally, people will come up to me on the street and try to, you know, ingratiate themselves and call me Paul. I don't like it, actually.

U2 is sort of song writing by accident really. We don't really know what we're doing and when we do, it doesn't seem to help.

We thought that we had the answers, it was the questions we had wrong.

I'm a musician. I write songs. I just hope when the day is done I've been able to tear a little corner off of the darkness.

I used to - my earliest memory of waking up with a melody in my head was, you know, 8, 9, 10. I've always heard kind of melodies in my head.

I will admit that we are attracted to issues that unify people rather than divide them.
