Randy Jones in the E! True Hollywood Story: Village People (October 2002)

"Our songs and lyrics have got to be some of the most mis-quoted in history. To this day people will quote lyrics from one of our songs like Y.M.C.A., and I'm thinking: 'NO! There's NOWHERE in Y.M.C.A. where we talk about hanging out in the showers...and dropping the soap!" 

"A lot of the nightlife that people think we were so totally immersed in and associated with us...we rarely got a taste of except maybe to jump out of a limousine at 4am in the the morning, run into a club and do a quick appearance,  only to be whisked out 15 minutes later onto another gig.  But, baby, it was FUN!  Sometimes, just a taste is all you need!"

"The Y.M.C.A. dance was really an organic thing that came from the audience...I believe it was the audience at Dick Clark's American Bandstand...and to this day every weekend somewhere on this globe at weddings, bar mitzvahs, birthday parties, and maybe even funerals,  people are dancing to Y.M.C.A."

"Henri Belolo, our manager and executive producer, who was orchestrating the group knew he had to strike while the iron was hot, and he wanted to get as much out of his artists as he could.  And he did...so Hollywood here we came."

"I am very blessed because the financial benefits from my work as Village People to this day are nice,  and allow me the freedom to live a life that's quite comfortable."

"When someone hears 'Y.M.C.A.' ,'Macho Man', 'In the Navy' or any of those songs, they're uplifted... they don't feel sad. Immediately when someone hears one of these songs, they smile. And that's a great legacy."
