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

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

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.

If you want something that's going to provide you with a lot of challenges and a variety of different things to do, then you really can't beat a place like the Air Force. I don't mean this to sound like a recruiting pitch. But it's been a lot of fun.

Most bands have a sound that they're already identified with, so for the producer it becomes a process of helping them find their muse in the studio to make a record that will not only satisfy them artistically, but will also do something in the marketplace.

Never play anything that don't sound right. You might not make any money, but at least you won't get hostile with yourself.

I don't want to sound pompous, but I really think your gender doesn't necessarily dominate your sexual activity.

You get a heck of a sound from the church. Can't you hear it in my voice?

It's clear to me that there is no good reason for many philosophy books to sound as complicated as they do.

I am not a sound bite person. I prefer to run at the mouth.

This is going to sound strange, but I really didn't think I would pass 30. I don't know why or whatever, I just didn't. That's a very weird thing to say, I'm sorry. I don't know. Maybe it's because I was drinking so much as a youth.

People say that I could sing the phone book and make it sound good.

Handcuffing the ability of states and localities to develop clean fuels in the cheapest possible way, using local resources, is not sound or sensible policy.

I don't know the vast majority of you personally, and it may sound kind of corny, but I really feel as if we've become friends through the years. And you've been with me during a lot of good times and some very difficult ones. I can't tell you how grateful I am.

In my fifty years of experience and memory, I have seen the most amazing increase in the standard of living of a people ever achieved anywhere in the world. This is why I am so sure that our system of free competition and industrial development is sound and must be preserved.

The President had every reason to believe that the text presented to him was sound... These 16 words should never have been included in the text written for the president.

The soprano turned out to sound to me like the right hand on the piano.

I'd never try to be that distinctive from the Bee Gees' sound. I'm very proud of being a Bee Gee and am always aware that I'll be identified as a Bee Gee.

And I think I find, I know a lot of people around, in different cities, and so it's not - it might sound strange - but it's not that hard to say good-bye, because I know there's other people where I'm going. I can sort of fit in in a lot of places.

We suspect Dr. Clutterbuck's sense of hearing must be injured: for him the 'ear trumpet' magnifies but distorts sound, rendering it less distinct than before.

If you're not Prince, you're never going to sound like Prince.
