I think I've always looked older than I am. I hope that's going to work in my favor when I get older.

I love that sense of release as you throw yourself into the crowd as hundreds of arms are carrying you.

I think I should get a bigger between-the-song persona, so then I'm not wandering around the stage like some mad old auntie that's saying hello to people and falling over.

Well, I'm completely normal and mellow.

Bono told me how to dance in high heels and he also told me about U2's Glastonbury performance and how everything that could have possibly gone wrong went wrong, including him ripping his trousers on stage. I think he was lunging and his trousers ripped! He was telling me how he had to find a new way of performing that didn't involve moving.

I always seem to feel that everything is about to cave in on me. I think that maybe music is my protection from that and in some senses it's an outlet to turn it into something euphoric: embracing the eventual decline.

For someone so conflicted, who am I to give advice to anybody? It’s such a funny, grandiose idea
