Quotes

Bono : You were a posh Irish supermodel for a while. I remember that.
Larry Mullen Jr. : Oh yeah...
Bono : Michelle Rocker.
The Edge : What? *You* were Michelle Rocker!
Bono : I was not! I was Alison Doody!
The Edge : I was Alison Doody!
Adam Clayton : I was Alison Doody!
Bono : Everyone wants to be Alison Doody *now*!

Host : Finish this sentence! Adam, U2's new album sounds like...
Adam Clayton : Garbage?
[everyone laughs, including the crew. Bono is upset]
Host : You shouldn't have said that, man.
Bono : It's his album! That's the sad... Can I just say something? You... that's... sad! That's sad! Cause you're on it on this one! You go and trash the one record where you're really happening! OK...

Host : You know when you were little? When you were ickle? When you started together, right? Was it a bedroom, garage? Where did it start? Where did you start actually strumming those tunes?

Host : I know you're still ickle.
Bono : The stage is but a platform shoe, Chris.
Host : But where was the first platform shoe?
Bono : Larry's kitchen. Fifteen or sixteen years ickle.
Host : Ok, so from Larry's kitchen to here tonight, what happened in between?
Bono : Megalomania. No. Actually, no. Grace, good fortune, blessings. Lots of things. We're just very, very lucky that we were mates before we were in a band and that we were in a band before we could play. You know what I mean? That was that whole punk thing.

Host : Who's going to live longest out of the four of you?
Larry Mullen Jr. : Why are you looking at me like that?
Bono : It's obvious. It's Dorian Gray over here. You know what I mean? There's a really ugly oil painting somewhere. But can I just say one thing? It's not that he's going to live longer. It's just going to *feel* longer.

Host : Larry, can you have anything you ask for?
Larry Mullen Jr. : Yes!
-
Host : Did you enjoy it more tonight than last night?
Bono : Edge played a stonker last night. Adam was great tonight.
Host : How do you know? How do you make the differentiation? How do you know that he had a blinder and he had a stonker? Poor Larry, you're not going to mention him by the way?
Larry Mullen Jr. : No. Story of my life.
Bono : Larry was consistent...
