I would not be happy to do what I do unless I felt that the large audience wanted it. Giorgio Moroder Read Quote
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. Giorgio Moroder Read Quote
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. Giorgio Moroder Read Quote
I love Lady Gaga, Rihanna – all the pop girls like Katy Perry. I think Miley Cyrus is very talented, too. Apart from the visuals, which you may like or not like, but her music is quite good, actually. ‘Wrecking Ball’ is quite a good song, and she sang it really nicely. Giorgio Moroder Read Quote
Unless you use the vocoder the way Daft Punk use it, it is very limited. When they sing it’s almost human. It sounds sexy. I just used it as an effect. It wasn’t because I was not able to sing; I’m not a great singer, but I had some hits as a singer, too. It’s a nice effect. Giorgio Moroder Read Quote
It is at least 10 times more difficult to get a good synthesiser sound than on an acoustic instrument. Giorgio Moroder Read Quote

In film, I was surprised when I first saw the movie ‘Drive.’ I said, ‘Oh, God. It sounds great – I love it. Wow, this could be the soundtrack from ‘American Gigolo’ or ‘Cat People.’ But I’m surprised that the director would agree with a composer to write that kind of sound. Giorgio Moroder Read Quote
Every business is there to make money, and making a record is business. This tends to be forgotten by many. Giorgio Moroder Read Quote
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. Giorgio Moroder Read Quote
