"When Peter plays guitar, there's a strong sense of ''fuck off'' that comes from his side of the stage. And you feel that he wants to be in a band because he likes what they do... but that's all," explained [[U2]]'s lead singer [[Bono]] in 2003.<ref>''[[The South Bank Show]]'', May 12, 2003.</ref> "And it's almost like performing and having to deal with all of that is a bit of a compromise for him, so just fuck off.
