• Uno de nuestros mejores momentos fue cuando conseguimos el número 1 en el Reino Unido y cuando el álbum llegó al número 1 en Estados Unidos. Los cuatro primeros esa semana éramos nosotros, Adele, Guns N' Roses y Bruce Springsteen. Fue ridículo ver esos nombres ahí. Ser el primer grupo del Reino Unido e Irlanda en ir a América y debutar en el número 1 es increíble.

• Sé que parecen dos pasos adelante y uno atrás, pero estamos progresando. A lo largo de mi vida he vivido una guerra mundial, el final del apartheid en Sudáfrica y la caída del Muro de Berlín. He vivido lo que nunca pensé que viviría, que es una paz bastante viable en Irlanda del Norte, y he vivido una Europa unificada, hasta que al Gobierno conservador se le ocurrió que para apaciguar a unos cuantos partidarios de la oposición celebrarían un referéndum, qué idea más desastrosa.
