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

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.

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

I am really enjoying the new Martin Luther King Jr stamp - just think about all those white bigots, licking the backside of a black man.

As irrigators lead water where they want, as archers make their arrows straight, as carpenters carve wood, the wise shape their minds.

When you're fired, you're rejected. It's as simple as that.

Nothing makes the earth seem so spacious as to have friends at a distance; they make the latitudes and longitudes.

All things considered, nothing is beautiful.

I see a lot of comments on Twitter and stuff about how ugly I am, how bad I am at the drums, how awkward I look, and I'm like, yeah, I agree with most of those things.

The secret is to moisturize the face. I've been doing that since I was 17 years old. (on looking young)
