It doesn't matter what songs we sing. I'm a drummer. Chicks dig me.

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

We all have views on what our Irishness means to us. Two members of the band were born in England and were raised in the Protestant faith. Bono's mother was Protestant and his father was Catholic. I was brought up Catholic. U2 are a living example of the kind of unity of faith and tradition that is possible in Northern Ireland.

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.

I love the Elvis movies. I used to watch them. In every single one of his movies he wasn't acting as a car salesman - he was acting as a car salesman who loved to play guitar.

I've often thought that it would be great to do some acting because nobody would think that I would be able to do it and it scares the living hell out of me.
