Salman, I’ve written this melody for your words, and I think it might be one of the best things I’ve done.

Making Achtung Baby is the reason we're here now.

Hello! Hello!

I remember watching Kurt come through and thinking, ‘God, this music is nuclear. This is really splitting the atom.’ They raised the temperature for everybody. Manufactured pop never looked so cold as when that heat was around. Nirvana made everything else look silly.

U2 has been on the verge of irrelevance for the past 20 years. We made some great work, I hope, along the way, and on occasion, faux pas.  But this moment now, where we're at, for me, feels like really close to the edge of irrelevance.

Michael Stipe's friendship means more to me than I can ever tell you.

We pay millions and millions of dollars in tax. The thing that stung us was the accusation of hypocrisy for my work as an activist.

Edge is almost embarrassed about being a guitar player because he wants to sound fresh.

I think that love stands out when set against struggle. That's probably the power of "War" in a nutshell.

I want my work to be both trashy and precious at the same time.

U2 is not a punk band, but there's this kind of violence present in our music.

Madonna's music is a little off the shelf for me, but it's almost like the lack of personality in the music heightens the personality in her voice.

Nothing to see here
Move right along folks. Nothing to see here.

Dear Phil
You're a great musician, a great drummer, a great spirit.
