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.

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 don't think anybody could imagine the life that I've been lucky enough to have. It's been an incredible journey.

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.

And if I had to spend 20 years in the band just to play that show, I think it would have been worthwhile.

When you're in the music business, everything is very personal, because you are invested in everything; there's a very deep, personal attachment to your music.
