I fell in love with Africa and began helping people fix things there.

I worked at the United Nations.

Going to Africa was being able to take my volunteering and my passion for hospice one step further.

U2 are a great band; they've given us an unbelievable body of work, and all of us musicians owe them at least something. I can honestly say that every time I have played the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado, as soon as my drums are set up, I go into the beat of 'Sunday Bloody Sunday.'

I really fell in love with Africa.

We stay in U2's hotel. They bought a hotel, The Clarence, a nice place and it's in an area where everything's happening, so many fantastic restaurants and bars and the people are so friendly.

U2's best work has always been when we didn't know what we're doing.

I spent about a year traveling overland from Egypt through Sudan and Ethiopia, and eventually into East Africa.

During a trip to Iraq last fall, I visited our theater hospital at Balad Air Force Base and witnessed these skilled medical professionals in action and met the brave soldiers whose lives they saved.
