My name is Giovanni Giorgio , but everybody calls me Giorgio.
judging reluctant
I am reluctant to judge things without being informed.
stupid thinking dancing
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.

My music was typically continental - nothing like, say, The Beatles.
special diana ramones
Phil Ramone is very special. Barbra Streisand or Diana Ross... they are the best.

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

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

I have to admit, I do not listen to much rock music.
art thinking too-much
I don't think there is too much art involved in what I do.
intelligent becoming complicated
I am not so complicated or intelligent a composer, nor am I very interested in becoming so. I am much more happy doing what I know I can do than what I am not sure I could do.

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