Nile Rodgers

"I am very rich because of 'Chic' - artistically as well as spiritually. It's been an amazing life."

"Nobody under the sun was like Madonna. She was positive and clear and wholly dedicated to achieving everything that she's achieved."

"Trust me, the only real way to understand 'Chic' is in highfalutin terms. Our chord progressions were based on European modal melodies. I made those early 'Chic' records to impress my jazz friends."
