'Bill Gates is somebody we're involved with, and he's got the deepestpockets of anyone. But his pockets aren't deep enough to fix this. This is apolitical problem. The good news is that if it's a political problem, itbelongs to the people.'

'Oprah: How has this passion fueled your work on stage?
Bono: I was very humbled to find out that the less time I spent in thestudio, the better the music seemed to get! The band is really supportive ofmy work. They just wish the people I was hanging out with weren't soun-hip!'

'The people who drove it home [in England], as much as the students andactivists were a part of it, were mothers. That has been really powerful[the support from] mothers and women's groups. They're not scared of me, butwhen women start getting organized, they [politicians] get scared.'
