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

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

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

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

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.

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