Quotes

• “Rock n roll stops the traffic”
• “What a city, what a night, what a crowd, what a bomb, what a mistake, what a wanker you have for a President.”
• “We can be the generation that no longer accepts that an accident of latitude determines whether a child lives or dies. But will we be that generation?”
• “Can you imagine your second album — the difficult second album — it's about God? Everyone is tearing their hair out and Chris Blackwell says, "It's okay. There's Bob Marley and Marvin Gaye, Bob Dylan, it's a tradition. We can get through it.”
• “The thing about The Dubliners is — line'em up, the hardest rock'n'roll bands in the world, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Oasis, Nirvana, U2 — we're all a bunch of girls next to The Dubliners.”
• “All That You Can't Leave Behind and How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb are both really mad long titles. As I've just said them, I've just realised how ridiculous the titles are.”
