No one knew me until I met my wife Lulu. Lulu's mother used to ask, Which one is Maurice? For six months she thought Lulu was dating Barry.

We expected to have a good time with Clive Davis 'cause I've always liked him, his shows. I've sort of followed his career a bit 'cause he had a lot of that on PBS over here.

Robin had always wanted to go solo, so when it happened I wasn't angry at all. I understood the situation. But Barry is so full of pride and couldn't understand why Robin had done it.

Jim Morrison's very good looking, but I don't like this version of the song. The Feliciano version is better.

Elton wanted a garden. They were building all afternoon while we were rehearsing. And then they built a fountain for Elton. And he said, I was only joking!

It's very hard to write a song alone. It's only by jamming that you can get a song together.

I was always the sexy bass player in the background while Robin stood centre. Barry and I played it up a bit, gave 'em a bit of thigh.

Tiny Tim? Anyone could sing like that. It's atrocious. It's hideous, really.

I'm quite proud of my piano playing. Robin's never played a note on the piano at our recording sessions. I just wish I could be appreciated musically now.

I suppose being his twin made me understand Robin that much more easily.

When Andy died, I just drank to dumb my mind.

When we write, we complement each other. We wrote six songs, Barry and I, while Robin was ill during the American tour, and they were terrible until Robin came back, and then everything worked out.

They don't bother too much with the balance and things on blues records.

Finally, I found a program that's put my troubles behind me.
