Maurice Gibb

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.

When Andy died, I just drank to dumb my mind.

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.

We expected to have a good time with Clive Anderson 'cause I've always liked him, his shows.

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

Tiny Tim? Anyone could sing like that. It's atrocious. It's hideous, really.

They don't bother too much with the balance and things on blues records.

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

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.

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

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.

It's very hard to write a song alone. It's only by jamming that you can get a song together.

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.

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

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.

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.

I suppose being his twin made me understand Robin that much more easily.

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

Harmonies are nice.

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

Finally, I found a program that's put my troubles behind me.

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

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!

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