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

Leaving Australia was the hardest thing I have ever done.

Maurice was a silly man. Maurice liked being silly.

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

My music, certainly, has never embarrassed me.

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

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

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

The Bee Gees no longer exist.

The only thing I miss on stage is the falsetto.

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

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

We had to leave Australia to become international stars.

We were very influenced by The Beatles, no question.

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 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.

You are never really prepared for criticism.

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

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.

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