Bono on his religious beliefs:

"How big an influence is the Bible on your songwriting? How much do you draw on
its imagery, its ideas?

It sustains me.

As a belief, or as a
literary thing?

As a belief. These are hard subjects to talk about
because you can sound like such a dickhead. I'm the sort of character who's got
to have an anchor. I want to be around immovable objects. I want to build my
house on a rock, because even if the waters are not high around the house, I'm
going to bring back a storm. I have that in me. So it's sort of underpinning for
me."
