If you find Bono annoying, well then he might just agree with you.
He has acknowledged that people probably find him annoying.The U2 frontman admitted he knows he is disliked because of his ego, but insisted that being big-headed made him successful.
He said: "I can be annoying. I have a kind of annoying gene.
"As Delmore Schwartz said, 'Ego is always at the wheel.' It's just with rock stars, it's more obvious. The need to be loved and admired doesn't come from a particularly pretty place.
"But people tend to do a lot of great things with it. Ego, yes, but the ego is in everything human beings are capable of. Without ego, things would be so dull."
The 49-year-old singer also said he is usually the inspiration for his songs.
Talking to the Guardian, he said: "The villain is usually me. The hypocrisy of the human heart is the number one target. Rarely do we point the finger at anyone other than ourselves.
"U2 choose more interesting targets than other bands. Your own hypocrisies, your addictions we never pick the obvious. I think we make our enemies very interesting."
