We worked for 11 years to get where we are today, and I want to take our work seriously so that later on I'll be able to appreciate the money we've made.

As an alcoholic, you have no appreciation for your wife or your children's feelings, but I'm making up for that now. I'm winning my children's trust back.

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.

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.

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.

We worked for 11 years to get where we are today, and I want to take our work seriously so that later on I'll be able to appreciate the money we've made.

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.

After Saturday Night Fever we wanted to do a poster with the three of us in Rambos bodies with machine guns and in the background thered be a body in a white suit bullet ridden and the mirror ball all shot to pieces.

I also do not like the idea of soft money, these issue ads - people don't know where the money is coming from, millions and millions of dollars outside of the control of a candidate - there's no accountability.

Stories come from other shows at other studios where only 2,000 rounds were actually used and the money for the other 3,000 went right into the studio pockets. Corners were cut and that production suffered. Knock wood, that hasn't happened to us.

One does not need buildings, money, power, or status to practice the Art of Peace. Heaven is right where you are standing, and that is the place to train.

I would rather take the role and work and make my own money and self respect than to have sex with someone who has a lot of money.

People may take a job for more money, but they often leave it for more recognition.

I make no claim to being a business genius. You can make so much money in this business that it loses its value.

It costs a great deal of money to do a musical, and the more money involved, the more big business influences the artform.

Your team has to understand that coming into the ABA, you have to have your investments right and sponsorships and people ready to give you money so they can back you up.

I wanted to be an actress. In college I was a serious feminist and very political. I was determined to get one thing out of my career and that was respect. I didn't want money. I didn't care about fame.

A drunkard would not give money to sober people. He said they would only eat it, and buy clothes and send their children to school with it.

If you're a producer, you always spend too much money because you want that shot - and you're willing to spend a bundle to get it.

We are demonstrating for services for all the people and not just services for money. It's very important that this message goes to the European Parliament today.
