The Bee Gees no longer exist.

I'm very much a family person.

You can be tops in Australia and be unheard of everywhere else.

It is not the money but the self-respect and wanting to create good music.

It was great being together as a band, but much more difficult being brothers than it was being in a band.

It is commercial pop that the majority of people understand. A working man's daughter would not understand blues.

When you are in your 20's and 30's, you just want a hit record and you don't really care how it happens.

I don't want to live on past records.

Leaving Australia was the hardest thing I have ever done.

Maurice would prance into a room, you know, and his presence was immediate.

It's very questionable, and we will pursue every factor, every element, every second of the timeline, of the final hours of Maurice's life. We will pursue that relentlessly. That will be our quest from now on.

He was the average guy. Maurice, I think, reflected every man.

We were very influenced by The Beatles, no question.

I like blues but it is music I am too ignorant to understand.

I love making records; I love making music; I love writing songs.

As long as you're having fun, that's the key. The moment it becomes a grind, it's over.

You are never really prepared for criticism.

But even now, when people see me in the street, they point upwards to the sky.

The only thing that exists to me is commercial pop music.

We enjoy change and freshness, and disco was only one area we've delved into.

Maurice was a silly man. Maurice liked being silly.

Everybody is a teenage idol.

When you write a song you have an idea of how it should be sung but it doesn't work out that way if someone else records it.

The secret is to make sure your family comes before anything else, because no matter what you do you've got to come home.

But all bubbles have a way of bursting or being deflated in the end.

The Bee Gees no longer exist.

My music, certainly, has never embarrassed me.

I'm the eldest at 51, and if the Stones can drag themselves around once more, then there's a few more albums in us.

I've never been into parties, premieres or night-clubbing.

I never really did any disco dancing.

Our parents came home one day and heard us, and they thought it was the radio, but our grandfather told them it was us.

I don't ever wish I was somebody else.

I would be content if I had nothing but a tape-recorder. I could still write songs and record them.

I have a huge ego and a huge inferiority complex at the same time.

I will always have my songs and I don't think I will ever dry-up.

I've worked with a lot of people who are more famous than myself who are terribly insecure.

I think they are grooming me as another Gary Cooper.

By going solo I could lose a fortune but money is not important.

We had to leave Australia to become international stars.

I have a little dictaphone and if a sound takes my fancy or if a lyric comes to me in the middle of the night I'll just record it there and then.

I'm Mr Boring, not a party-goer at all.

Now there is a new group every week; it seems like everybody and anybody can get into the charts.

I just love the feeling a close family gives you and I wouldn't change it for anything.

The only thing I miss on stage is the falsetto.

Sure I'm leaving the Bee Gees. I'm going into films.

We enjoy change and freshness and disco was only one area weve delved into.

As long as youre having fun thats the key. The moment it becomes a grind its over.

Christopher Reeve did such an amazing job that to give him some kind of accent or more bravado would have been wrong. Audiences wouldn't have responded to that either.

Any kind of advice that I've been given to cut out carbs forever, don't do it. It just doesn't work. You do okay for a while and then you just overcarb.
