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.

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

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

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

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

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

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