Whenever I see grace, I’m moved.

What I like about pop music, and why I'm still attracted to it, is that in the end it becomes our folk music.

Religion can be the enemy of God. It's often what happens when God, like Elvis, has left the building.

As hard as it is, as ghetto as it is, hip-hop is pop music. It's the sound of music getting out of the ghetto, while rock is looking for a ghetto.

It is impossible to meet God without abandon, without exposing yourself, being raw.

Christians are hard to tolerate; I don’t know how Jesus does it

The great music for so many artists - the Beatles, the Rolling Stones - was always at the moment when they were closest to pop. It would be easy for U2 to go off and have a concept album, but I want us to stay in the pop fray.
