There's no retirement for an artist,its your way of living so theres no end to it.

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.

There is a root arrogance in any writer; a hugely arrogant assumption that anyone is going to listen to them.

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.

Poverty breeds despair. We know this. Despair breeds violence. We know this. In turbulent times, isn't it cheaper, and smarter, to make friends out of potential enemies than to defend yourself against them later?

Actually oddly enough, I think my work, the activism, will be forgotten. And I hope it will. Because I hope those problems will have gone away.

The less you know, the more you believe.
