I've never had a chance to go to the Finals, and I don't have a ring - and that would be the only thing that would get me to think about it.
From the very start of my career, it was clear to me that achievement was built on discipline.
Joe Louis is the hardest puncher that I've ever seen. . . He's a good man. Anyone who plans on beating him had better know what they're doing.
I had a happy marriage and a nice wife. I accomplished everything you can. What more can you want?
I received a letter from the Reich Ministry of Sports. They want me to split from Joe Jacobs, my manager since 1928. . . . I really need Joe Jacobs. I owe all my success in America to him.
Why did I want to win? because I didn't want to lose!
I said to myself, 'You're a man from a humble background, what you didn't learn in school, you'll learn now. Catch up.
There's a rhythm to the legislative session and there are rhythms to legislative sessions. So I think that's very important to take into consideration when you are deciding what to do when.
Yeah. I started using them [SDD-3000s] shortly after first working with Edge on The Unforgettable Fire. Basically, I stole his sound. It wasn't a complicated rig: just a guitar he liked through a Korg SDD-3000 digital delay into a Vox. Three components, mono - that's it. The great thing about the Korgs is its three-position level switch, which lets you hit the amp with about 10 extra dB. It's more overdriven than if you just plugged the guitar straight into the amp, even when it's on bypass. But a lot of the guitar sounds on Achtung Baby were recorded through a Korg A3 effects processor.
I'm a human being just like you are. And I hurt and love just like everybody else, and people tend to forget that. I think I'm one of the friendliest celebrities around, because I'll stop to talk to anybody who recognizes me. I don't have a negative bone in my body. That's why I could care less about any gossip. It doesn't interest me. I'd rather sit down and write a song.
I know that my work as a singer is important, it's valuable to me and to others, but I think that in the bigger picture, I'm just trying to keep my heart pure and open.
