Everybody is a teenage idol.

The Bee Gees no longer exist.

I'm very much a family person.

I never really did any disco dancing.

I don't want to live on past records.

I don't ever wish I was somebody else.

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

You are never really prepared for criticism.

My music, certainly, has never embarrassed me.

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

The only thing I miss on stage is the falsetto.

Maurice was a silly man. Maurice liked being silly.

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

We were very influenced by The Beatles, no question.

I think they are grooming me as another Gary Cooper.

We had to leave Australia to become international stars.

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

Leaving Australia was the hardest thing I have ever done.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk, I'm a woman's man: no time to talk.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

Im the eldest at 51, and if the Stones can drag themselves around once more, then theres a few more albums in us.

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

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.

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

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

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
