"If you love your music its about communication- thats why you formed a band. No one forms a band because they want to be The Beatles or The Rolling Stones or The Sex Pistols or The Clash or Nirvana, you know, no one forms a band. If you want a private little experience, you can become a potter. Go buy yourself a potter's wheel and go fuck off."- -

"...I think a lot of it is kind of tolerance. You have to get used to being with people, being with them for a long period of time, and they become very tolerant of you and your little quirks, and you become tolerant of them and theirs. And you just try to see the positive in every situation. . . . We do great work together and we do inspire each ( Read more... ) -

"We are family. Bono and I bought a house together ten years ago in the south of France and Adam and Larry ended up buying in the same area, partly a practical thing, so we can work, but partly because we want to hang out together. I go to parties with these guys, "he points around the cabin," and I end up sitting in the corner talking to them. It´ ( Read more... ) -

This never ceases to crack me up = Larry on Bob Dylan.
Larry: But he is actually a very - I must admit, I wasn't fazed by him, therefore I did get an opportunity to sit down and talk with him, and he is actually a very nice guy. And he's a talented guy.

from Willie Williams tour diary about the Mexico City shows at U2.com:
'I love the way the audience ‘flick’ their lighters in this part of the world. They hold them up, then on the beat they ‘flick’ them to produce a momentary flame or spark. Seen from afar, this produces a wave of flashes, like expanding rings of ripples on a pond. Everyone ( Read more... ) -

Rolling Stone Interview
What were the first rock & roll records that you heard?Age four. The Beatles -- "I Want to Hold Your Hand." I guess that's 1964. I remember watching the Beatles with my brother on St. Stephen's Day, the day after Christmas.
