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

In pop or rock you can make a fast song or a slow one, but in disco there is really just the one rhythm.

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

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

The disco sound, you must see, is not art or anything so serious.

Too many of these writers in the music papers, they are misunderstanding everything. The disco sound is not art or anything so serious.

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.
