I think carrying moral baggage is very dangerous for an artist. If you have a duty, it's to be true and not cover up the cracks.
The great music for so many artists - the Beatles, the Rolling Stones - was always at the moment when they were closest to pop. It would be easy for U2 to go off and have a concept album, but I want us to stay in the pop fray.
Technology is huge; I wanted to learn about it. People might say that's odd, but I think it's odd if artists aren't interested in the world around them. I'm always chasing that.
There's a point where you find yourself tiptoeing as an artist, and then you know that you're in the wrong place.
Every artist is a cannibal/every poet is a thief/all kill for inspiration/and then sing about the grief.
