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!

FOr a while, I'd never had the opportunity to prove on TV that I could play the piano.

The most important thing about recovery is to pass the message on.

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.

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.

Robin hasn't got a big nose - but I can soon arrange that.

We don't mind being ripped apart, but don't rip the songs apart. They're like our kids.

I'll be honest. We copied everyone... the Beatles, the Bachelors. It was the only way people would even listen to you.

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.

So many groups fail because they spend all their time in the clubs. Work pours in and they can't handle it because of late-night drinking.

Barry seems to be more flamboyant merely because he gets more interviews to talk about it.

I was always the one left behind. Out in the streets, when they saw me they'd say, That's just one of the Bee Gees.

I heard my brother's voice even though we were apart. I then answered the phone and found him on the line.

I think we have to act like stars because it is expected of us. So we drive our big cars and live in our smart houses.

Everybody who knows us knows we always have a good time.

America? They had a good girl singer, Janis Joplin.

I'm not a big blues fan, but I don't know anyone who doesn't dig B.B. King.

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.

I write the music because I can't really write lyrics. But I can write chords like Robin's never heard of. So I provide the music for them to add the lyrics to.

Harmonies are nice.

Nature is my manifestation of God. I go to nature every day for inspiration in the day's work. I follow in building the principles which nature has used in its domain.

So I rang up a local building firm, I said 'I want a skip outside my house.' He said 'I'm not stopping you.'

We have a group of friends of the museum who try to raise, if they can, periodically something to help us. Of course, the main thing about a building like this is its upkeep. It needs central heating and it needs central air conditioning.

The anger that appears to be building up between the sexes becomes more virulent with every day that passes. And far from women taking the blame... the fact is that men are invariably portrayed as the bad guys. Being a good man is like being a good Nazi.

Building one space station for everyone was and is insane: we should have built a dozen.

There are some who are scared by unity and by building a country on the basis of ideas.
