Now there is a new group every week; it seems like everybody and anybody can get into the charts.
I've worked with a lot of people who are more famous than myself who are terribly insecure.
Maurice was a silly man. Maurice liked being silly.
You are never really prepared for criticism.
I love making records; I love making music; I love writing songs.
By going solo I could lose a fortune but money is not important.
I'm very much a family person.
I don't want to live on past records.
I think they are grooming me as another Gary Cooper.
You can be tops in Australia and be unheard of everywhere else
Everybody is a teenage idol.
The Bee Gees no longer exist.
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've never been into parties, premieres or night-clubbing
I'm Mr Boring, not a party-goer at all.
I will always have my songs and I don't think I will ever dry-up
I never really did any disco dancing.

The Bee Gees are a fly-by-night sort of group.

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

But all bubbles have a way of bursting or being deflated in the end.
Leaving Australia was the hardest thing I have ever done.
The secret is to make sure your family comes before anything else, because no matter what you do you've got to come home.
Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk, I'm a woman's man: no time to talk.
It was great being together as a band, but much more difficult being brothers than it was being in a band.
We enjoy change and freshness, and disco was only one area we've delved into.
