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!

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

Once you free your mind about a concept of harmony, and of music being “correct”, you can do whatever you want.

Even when disco went out, I could still make hits. Once I had so much success, every idea became concentrated. I had so much confidence. I knew how the bass should sound, what rhythms would work. The tempos I knew: 110 to 120 BPM. I knew they would dance in the clubs in New York or anywhere.

There's only so much you can do with a male voice in dance music.

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