“We were tired of being made fun of by Arsenio Hall.”

“It's not enough just to sing good, just to look good. You have to be perfect.”

“You get something, but for that you make a pact with the devil.”

“Now you don't know if somebody likes you or Milli Vanilli, the fame, the money. This makes it difficult. This makes you a little paranoid and afraid about people.”

“We didn't want to do any more interviews. The more we talked, the worse things got.”

“I looked at all the superstars. What is their different thing? Their hair. Beatles, Elvis, James Dean, James Brown, Marilyn Monroe. I wanted to be a star. I said, 'I have to fix my hair.'”

“Maybe this was my luck that I was in Munich the only one with a look like this, the only one with an image like this. But in the States, there is a lot of more competition.”

“In the industry we somehow made ourselves a lot of enemies.”

“What we thought brings us a disadvantage, brings us an advantage against the American black rappers, because they look all the same, with their training outfits and sneakers, you know? But we didn't know this, it wasn't calculated.”

“People think we choreograph. We dance four years in clubs. We watch videos every day. We do a step, it ends up a sensation, and for us it was just a copy maybe of a Gene Kelly video.”

“Fabrice and I are big talents. We can sing as good as any other pop star In the Top Ten.”

“One million, two million, three million seems like a lot of money. But if you spend $80,000 a month, it's really nothing.”

“We went to London, did our first video, 'Girl You Know It's True.' We produced it for $50,000 - our producer put up the money. And we said to the people in Germany, 'I am from New York, he is from Miami. We are Americans.' And I hide it that I'm born in Munich, that I'm German.”

“It's OK to laugh at us.”

“Twenty years from now we want people to come out and see us sing and dance in Las Vegas. Like Sammy Davis Jr., like Julio Iglesias, like Tom Jones. I believe there is a big future for us.”

“Boney M. were not allowed to do interviews, they were not allowed to choose their costumes. They looked like slaves, and this was the producer's take.”

“Once we realized what happened to Boney M., we wanted to come to the States. In Europe, artists just don't have the same protection they do over here.”

“The Germans are very critical. They like to drag acts down. They make you feel you're not so good - not so important.”

“I feel like a mosquito being squeezed.”

“We are big fans of Scritti Politti.”
