Comfortable Quote by Larry Mullen, Jr

“The only thing I wouldn't like to do is to play roles as a musician. I'm not sure that I would be comfortable doing that, and I'm not sure I'd be very good at it. I think I would be better served, and would be a better partner, if I was in something outside of myself.” quote by Larry Mullen, Jr
