Nile Rodgers Quotes

I’ve found great solace in finally taking care of myself and others Picture Quote #1

Everything about my life was culturally rich, and all the people I met sort of reinforced the wackiness that was normally inside of me. No one said, ‘You can’t do that,’ until I got to real record companies, that is Picture Quote #1

My childhood was bittersweet in many ways. We moved around a lot. By the time I was 10, I had travelled thousands of miles, often on my own. My parents were like my friends, so it felt like I didn’t really have parents at all. But in a crazy way that was very liberating. It forced me to be independent, maybe a leader, and certainly a survivor Picture Quote #1

Every record I have done was because I was a person’s friend. The only time we did not continue to be friends was if the record did not become a hit. If it did, we became great friends Picture Quote #1

When I go on vacation, I take very few clothes and a whole lot of books. It’s the most soothing thing in the world. Reading ‘Moby-Dick’ is like being in a time machine. I almost feel as excited as the first time I read it and I always find something new Picture Quote #1

I called all adults by their first names, and my mum was just another adult. I was the firstborn of my generation in the family, but because I was so close to my parents in age, they treated me with a kind of adult respect. They talked to me as an equal Picture Quote #1

When people tell you you’re on the brink of death, you’ve got to dig pretty deep to get it together Picture Quote #1

When I was very young, there was a lot of music at home, mostly jazz. I was walking around singing and pretending I was in bands from a very young age. But the first song that was really personal to me was ‘Blue Suede Shoes’ Picture Quote #1

Art is something that opens up and enhances your emotions and that’s what I like to think I’m doing Picture Quote #1

I am very rich because of ‘Chic’ - artistically as well as spiritually. It’s been an amazing life Picture Quote #1

Artists don’t come much cooler and well rounded than Lady Gaga. Love and respect Picture Quote #1

After waiting four long years since the Lost CHIC Tapes were recovered, I’m finally putting out our first record. I’m like a child waiting for Christmas morning Picture Quote #1

What do great artists do when you see a world around you that’s in turmoil? Some of the best artists make you feel good (hah), they look to the future Picture Quote #1

If I could live in one city and do every single thing I do there, I would choose Venice. You can’t turn your head without seeing something amazing Picture Quote #1

If something is worth doing, it’s worth overdoing Picture Quote #1

You can fool a person into going to see a movie with a good trailer Picture Quote #1

Any real record person knows that the number one most powerful marketing tool when it comes to music is repetition Picture Quote #1

Music is the one part of the entertainment business where you can’t fool anybody into buying a record Picture Quote #1

I’ve had insomnia since I was five years old. I just don’t require much sleep. I’m never tired Picture Quote #1

I grew up in the era of the concept album. What I do now is pick up on singles, and they are their own complete stories; you don’t necessarily have to hear the rest of the album because I don’t think albums are created like that anymore. They get songs from all over the place Picture Quote #1

I would play hooky from school and spend all day in the movie theaters. Consequently, I learned satire in all its subtle forms Picture Quote #1

It feels like my job is to support people. I support great artists. When I worked with a symphony, I sat in the third chair, not the first chair Picture Quote #1

I think the hardest thing to overcome is judging yourself and being your own worst critic so to speak Picture Quote #1

Bands always call me when they are in need of a boost and I come in and put them back on top Picture Quote #1

Art, well good art at least, takes you to a place you go during the experience of it, and then after you experience it you are different Picture Quote #1

Art is something that opens up and enhances your emotions and that’s what I like to think I’m doing Picture Quote #1

I like to piece together different guitarists, unlikely bedfellows. You have Jonny Greenwood playing next to Nile Rodgers on the same track, so it becomes like an orchestra of sounds Picture Quote #1
