My music was typically continental - nothing like, say, The Beatles.

Disco is music for dancing, and people will always want to dance.

Once you free your mind about the concept of harmony and of music being correct, you can do whatever you want. So nobody told me what to do, and there was no preconception of what to do.

In pop or rock you can make a fast song or a slow one, but in disco there is really just the one rhythm.

In both pop and disco, the meaning of the lyrics is not too important. I have nothing I feel I particularly want to say.

Disco does work better with black artists or players. They just feel it more.

Too many of these writers in the music papers, they are misunderstanding everything. The disco sound is not art or anything so serious.

The disco sound, you must see, is not art or anything so serious.

My name is Giovanni Giorgio , but everybody calls me Giorgio.

It is at least 10 times more difficult to get a good synthesiser sound than on an acoustic instrument.

I am not so complicated or intelligent a composer, nor am I very interested in becoming so. I am much more happy doing what I know I can do than what I am not sure I could do.

I wouldn't change anything. I've made mistakes, but thanks to those mistakes, I've learned.

I don't want to make promises, not knowing what the situation's going to be three or four years out.

Besides the Autumn poets sing, A few prosaic days, A little this side of the snow, And that side of the Haze..., Grant me, Oh Lord, a sunny mind- Thy windy will to bear!

I can look you in the eye and tell you I feel I've tried to solve the problem diplomatically to the max, and would have committed troops both in Afghanistan and Iraq knowing what I know today.

I'm a writer and this is what I love to do.

Who says soul has only one colour?

The appearances of natural objects are in themselves meaningless; the essential thing is feeling - in itself and completely independent of the context in which it has been evoked.

The Church must breathe with her two lungs!

I hate the bloody highways. I hate hamburgers, I hate Greyhound buses. I'd have liked to have been in America during the Jazz Age, or the Golden Age of Hollywood.

I am terrified at the thought that so much hideous and bad music will be put on records forever.
