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

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.

In both pop and disco, the meaning of the lyrics is not too important. I have nothing I feel I particularly want to say.

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

What Skrillex does with Ableton it's like being a little god. It's not just pushing loops - that's easy - but to do the effects he's a genius.

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

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