"To be fair I do have an annoying gene. I annoy myself sometimes " Bono told telegraph.co.uk.
He added: "You know I ve been writing about my own hypocrisy for 20 years. But the hypocrisy of the human heart is so much more interesting than a rock n roll band trying to take its financial affairs seriously.
"I mean come on would people prefer I die broke? They try to say You re not idealists really to a band who have shared everything committed our lives to each other and various campaigns of social justice. It won t wash."
Bono says he thinks that a lot of people might just not like him and his band and that he tries to find reasons to explain it.
