But even now, when people see me in the street, they point upwards to the sky.
As long as you're having fun, that's the key. The moment it becomes a grind, it's over.
I have a huge ego and a huge inferiority complex at the same time.
I'm Mr Boring, not a party-goer at all.
He was the average guy. Maurice, I think, reflected every man.
It is commercial pop that the majority of people understand. A working man's daughter would not understand blues.
But all bubbles have a way of bursting or being deflated in the end.
The only thing I miss on stage is the falsetto.
Leaving Australia was the hardest thing I have ever done.
It's very questionable, and we will pursue every factor, every element, every second of the timeline, of the final hours of Maurice's life. We will pursue that relentlessly. That will be our quest from now on.
I never really did any disco dancing.
I think they are grooming me as another Gary Cooper.
My music, certainly, has never embarrassed me.
It was great being together as a band, but much more difficult being brothers than it was being in a band.
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.
By going solo I could lose a fortune but money is not important.
I don't ever wish I was somebody else.
I love making records; I love making music; I love writing songs.
We were very influenced by The Beatles, no question.
The Bee Gees no longer exist.
I would be content if I had nothing but a tape-recorder. I could still write songs and record them.
The only thing that exists to me is commercial pop music.
I've never been into parties, premieres or night-clubbing.
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 will always have my songs and I don't think I will ever dry-up.
Our parents came home one day and heard us, and they thought it was the radio, but our grandfather told them it was us.
I don't want to live on past records.
I just love the feeling a close family gives you and I wouldn't change it for anything.
I like blues but it is music I am too ignorant to understand.
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.
Maurice was a silly man. Maurice liked being silly.
Maurice would prance into a room, you know, and his presence was immediate.
Now there is a new group every week; it seems like everybody and anybody can get into the charts.
Sure I'm leaving the Bee Gees. I'm going into films.
The secret is to make sure your family comes before anything else, because no matter what you do you've got to come home.
We enjoy change and freshness, and disco was only one area we've delved into.
We had to leave Australia to become international stars.
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.
You are never really prepared for criticism.
You can be tops in Australia and be unheard of everywhere else.
