Bono at the Capitol

"I wrote the book to attempt an argument that a life is the creative act. The great canvas is all the things you do with that life. Then I got to a place where I thought, all I want is to write the great song and be sung by it, because that’s when you surrender. For me, that is the divine utterance: the pop song. I would not be surprised if U2 makes the best album of its life in the next years. Not because the world needs it, but because the band might. That’s a great reason to go into the studio." - Bono, 2022
