I want to be alone and work until the day my heads hits the drawing table and I'm dead. Kaput. I feel very much like I want to be with my brother and sister again. They're nowhere. I know they're nowhere and they don't exist but if nowhere means that's where they are that's where I want to be.

I don't like to work with assistants. I'm already one too many the camera alone would be enough.

No one else can take risks for us or face our losses on our behalf or give us self-esteem. No one can spare us from life's slings and arrows and when death comes we meet it alone.

U2 is an original species... there are colours and feelings and emotional terrain that we occupy that is ours and ours alone.

And what's more I've got no need for anyone to tell me how to do it. I am not interested. You act how you want to and leave me alone to do my own thing.

I have never been able to grasp the meaning of time. I don't believe it exists. I've felt this again and again when alone and out in nature. On such occasions time does not exist. Nor does the future exist.

I get a friend to travel with me... I need somebody to bring me back to who I am. It's hard to be alone.

A steady patriot of the world alone The friend of every country but his own.

Work alone will efface the footsteps of work.
