Quotes 

• Bono : You have Luciano Pavarotti, the greatest singer on earth, maybe who ever existed, calling you at home trying to get us to write a song.

  Nicoletta Mantovani : He called Bono for ages. He became friend of the housekeeper of Bono, because, she was Italian.

  Bono : Our housekeeper, Theresa, he just got to know her. He'd ring and say, "Is God at home?" The technique was one of humility, which is, of course, a very mischievous trick. He had turned our housekeeper into his Consigliere. Because at breakfast, dinner and tea, she was like, "Have you got that song done for him?"

  Nicoletta Mantovani : Bono said, "I don't have a song. I have no idea." And Luciano said, "God will inspire you."

  Bono : I remember this Easter coming up and he said, "Ah, God will sing him something." And, I woke up with the melody. And it really did happen - like that.

• Nicoletta Mantovani : He wanted to go to Bosnia to help the children - to give them hope for the future. Because, Luciano was one of those children.
