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 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 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.

They who love dancing too much seem to have more brains in their feet than in their head.

Dancing is a wonderful training for girls, it's the first way you learn to guess what a man is going to do before he does it.

I don't see my dancing or acting as two separate things. I don't define them separately, so I can't say one has helped the other, It's all the same thing. More than anything I love being on stage and performing.

It took a brave editor in the U.S. to sign a contract for Dancing Girls, and without her belief in the book, I'm not sure it would ever have found its way into print.

Dancing, apart to music with a beat, is my legacy.

Dancing on 'Dancing With The Stars' really broadened my fan base. I jumped off the stage backwards one week, and so many women come up to me now and say, 'You're so brave. I can't believe you put yourself out there like that'. If that inspires some girl out there, then great, because boys aren't the only ones who get to have fun. We get to have fun too.

I got started dancing because I knew it was one way to meet girls.

I had certain physical limitations that made me change the choreography for myself or made me more interested in choreography only rather than dancing. I have never been a person who wanted to just dance. I have always been interested in developing for other people.

On my fifth film, it was then that I stopped dancing.

Life is like dancing. If we have a big floor, many people will dance. Some will get angry when the rhythm changes. But life is changing all the time.

Aerobic dancing is already adjusting to injury problems and will probably phase out to some extent.

It is difficult to produce a television documentary that is both incisive and probing when every twelve minutes one is interrupted by twelve dancing rabbits singing about toilet paper.

Finally, you get the job, and you think you'll be dancing on the ceiling, but I just wanted to go take a nap. It was just like a weight had been lifted off or something.

You don't go dancing in the day. You don't go golfing in the night.

It was always acting, singing and dancing that I loved.

My grandmother had a Miss Margaret's School of Dance to teach tap and ballet to kids, but I never studied it. I was raised a Mormon and they're dancing fools. It's the only vice they have - dancing.

There is pain and sacrifice in everyone's world. That's why, when I was dancing, I had no pain.

Scriptures and creeds may come to seem incredible, but faith will still go dancing on.
