I am much more happy doing what I know I can do than what I am not sure I could do.

I would not be happy to do what I do unless I felt that the large audience wanted it.

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.

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

I am reluctant to judge things without being informed.

I have to admit, I do not listen to much rock music.

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

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

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

I don't think there is too much art involved in what I do.

I think it would be stupid for us to try and tell people who are dancing in a discotheque about the problems of the world. That is the very thing they have come away to avoid.

I am certainly not racist; I even like the British.

Nowadays you need so much money to be able to launch a new artist, notably in America; you would hardly believe the sums involved.

Phil Ramone is very special. Barbra Streisand or Diana Ross... they are the best.

I am much more happy doing what I know I can do than what I am not sure I could do.

I achieved something specially different with Love To Love You Baby and I Feel Love. These songs will endure.

Every business is there to make money, and making a record is business. This tends to be forgotten by many.

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

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

Dance music doesn't care where you live. It doesn't care who your friends are. It doesn't care how much money you make. It doesn't care if you're 74 or if you are 24 because... 74 is the new 24!

I like the sounds of EDM; the guys create new sounds, beautiful sounds. The melodies, it's a little less. I like the kind of melodies I did with Donna Summer, or 'Flashdance,' where you have a verse, a chorus - a song setup.

I listen to the group Disclosure; they have great sounds. Maybe not as adventurous as Skrillex. I think the key thing is to have those beautiful sounds... the amazing sounds of Skrillex are almost phenomenal.

I love Lady Gaga, Rihanna - all the pop girls like Katy Perry. I think Miley Cyrus is very talented, too. Apart from the visuals, which you may like or not like, but her music is quite good, actually. 'Wrecking Ball' is quite a good song, and she sang it really nicely.

My favorite would be 'Love to Love You' because from zero, I went to Number One. I don't think it's the best song - the best one is probably between 'Flashdance' and 'Take My Breath Away.'

Now, the DJ becomes a star in itself because of the way he programs the songs with lows and then highs and then slowing it down. The big DJs, like Tiesto and Deadmau5 and all those guys, they are very, very creative.

When I'm dead, somebody can write my biography. I wrote a national hymn, an anthem, which I don't want to present to that country. But I have a deal with my wife - when I'm dead, she should offer it, because then I'm safe.

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

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

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

I'm world famous, everywhere I go there are people who love me because of I've been able to bring them some joy from the movies I've made.

Every day sees humanity more victorious in the struggle with space and time.

The eyes get lost in 3-D. With 3-D, your eyes are looking for the plane of focus, right? And the problem is, when you do quick cuts, your eyes can't find it.

I really don't have a celebrity crush.

Oh I had crushes on all my leading men, I think. Oh, you know who I really had fun with? In this movie 'Mother, Jugs & Speed,' I really liked working with Harvey Keitel.

My grandmother was a Jewish juggler she used to worry about six things at once

When you set a play in the French Quarter in New Orleans, it's hard not to acknowledge the whole African-American, French, white mixing of races. That's what the French Quarter is: it's a Creole community.

I try to get to the heart of the issue, address it, and go on to the next thing.

If each day was a gift, I would like to know where to return Monday.

My parents genuinely loved Vienna, and in later years I learned from them why the city exerted a powerful hold on them and other Jews. My parents loved the dialect of Vienna, its cultural sophistication, and artistic values.

Because these show are live, script pages are being switched during the program and new commercial teases might be yelled in your ear with just enough time to scribble them on scrap paper before reading them.

There's something about my Mexican-American heritage... I'm proud of it.

We need to reinvent food at Starbucks. Less could be more.

I think every guy that hits his 40s has a little bit of a wake-up call and wants to just keep things real, as they say, and just to push yourself.

We are so proud of 'Unconditional'. I couldn't have been more honest in these songs, and I can't wait to see the impact they have. This record is exactly what it's supposed to be.

You Liberals think that goats are just sheep from broken homes.

I grew up in a time when many people believed that men and women should not always be treated equally.

I am a mom as well as a senator!
