More quotes by Frankie Knuckles
The minute you think you're greater than the music, you're finished
Frankie Knuckles
I'm of the mind that your private life is private and you don't need to put everything out there about yourself - but on there, I describe myself as a citizen of the world, a man of music.
Frankie Knuckles
I'm always looking for just the right song that has something to say.
Frankie Knuckles
I used to tell myself when I was much younger that I didn't want to wake up one day and be 32 years old and still playing records. It's just not going to happen. Well, the joke is on me, because I'm 56 years old now.
Frankie Knuckles

Frankie Knuckles

Frankie Knuckles
I have worked with a lot of different great people. One of the things my partner, my manager Judy Weinstein, instilled in [David] Morales and myself is that the quality goes in before the name goes home.
Frankie Knuckles
I learned to trust women's ears when it comes to hearing music a lot more than other men.
Frankie Knuckles
A friend of mine that happened to be a DJ at another club actually offered me a job [as a DJ]. I didn't think I could do it but he said, You know all the music. You are at all the parties, and everybody knows you.
Frankie Knuckles
I am definitely in the right place doing the right thing. These are the rewards.
Frankie Knuckles
