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.

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.

I joined a band to hit things.

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

The longer you've been acting, normally, the better you are at it. As a musician, it doesn't work like that.

It's a tough life being a pop star. You know, at the end of the day when you've paid all the bills and put the kids through college and that, you know, there's only enough left for a small island off the South Pacific.

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.
