It doesn't matter what songs we sing. I'm a drummer. Chicks dig me.

Larry Mullen 23 quotes

I love the Elvis movies. I use...

I love the Elvis movies. I used to watch them. In every single one of his movies he wasn't acting as a car salesman - he was acting as a car salesman who loved to play guitar.

Larry Mullen 23 quotes

The only thing I wouldn't like...

The only thing I wouldn't like to do is to play roles as a musician. I'm not sure that I would be comfortable doing that, and I'm not sure I'd be very good at it. I think I would be better served, and would be a better partner, if I was in something outside of myself.

Larry Mullen 23 quotes

I will never be a career actor...

I will never be a career actor, I don't think. I don't feel that I have the skill set to jump into it that way, although I wouldn't mind giving it a try.

Larry Mullen 23 quotes

The longer you've been acting,...

The longer you've been acting, normally, the better you are at it. As a musician, it doesn't work like that.

Unfortunately, as far as the music is concerned, what defines relevance is whether you are on the radio or whether you are on the cover of a magazine or whether you're winning MTV awards, and so on and so forth.

Larry Mullen 23 quotes

Relevance, for me, is about be...

Relevance, for me, is about being creative and doing things that you believe in, whether that's music or acting or painting a picture, or whatever that is.

Larry Mullen 23 quotes

Relevance is a big, big questi...

Relevance is a big, big question. It's more about what's your definition of being relevant. In the music world, agism is a big issue. It's about youth and youth culture. There's no other art form that I know that requires you to be a certain age.

I don't think anybody could imagine the life that I've been lucky enough to have. It's been an incredible journey.

Larry Mullen 23 quotes

The big issue with rock stars ...

The big issue with rock stars becoming actors is that sometimes it's not believable, and vice versa with actors becoming rock stars. Sometimes just doesn't fit.

Larry Mullen 23 quotes

I've often thought that it would be great to do some acting because nobody would think that I would be able to do it and it scares the living hell out of me.

I think I look cool. I don't know about the other three but I look cool, I am cool.

If Bono left, we could carry on. If I left, we'd be screwed.

Larry Mullen 23 quotes

People say, 'Why don't you do ...

People say, 'Why don't you do interviews? What do you think about this? What do you think about that?' My job in the band is to play drums, to get up on stage and hold the band together. That's what I do. At the end of the day that's all that's important. Everything else is irrelevant.

Larry Mullen 23 quotes

We all have views on what our Irishness means to us. Two members of the band were born in England and were raised in the Protestant faith. Bono's mother was Protestant and his father was Catholic. I was brought up Catholic. U2 are a living example of the kind of unity of faith and tradition that is possible in Northern Ireland.

I joined a band to hit things.

And if I had to spend 20 years in the band just to play that show, and have done that, I think it would have been worthwhile.

There's a thin line between interesting music and self-indulgence. We crossed it on the Passengers record.

Larry Mullen 23 quotes

It's a tough life being a pop star. You know, at the end of the day when you've paid all the bills and put the kids through college and that, you know, there's only enough left for a small island off the South Pacific.

Larry Mullen 23 quotes

Then Bono arrived, and he mean...

Then Bono arrived, and he meant to play the guitar, but he couldn't play very well, so he started to sing. He couldn't do that either. But he was such a charismatic character that he was in the band anyway, as soon as he arrived. I was in charge for the first five minutes, but as soon as Bono got there, I was out of a job.
