Maurice Gibb

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

“Jim Morrison's very good looking, but I don't like this version of the song. The Feliciano version is better.”

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

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

“I'll be honest. We copied everyone... the Beatles, the Bachelors. It was the only way people would even listen to you.”

“No one knew me until I met my wife Lulu. Lulu's mother used to ask, Which one is Maurice? For six months she thought Lulu was dating Barry.”

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

“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 was always the one left behind. Out in the streets, when they saw me they'd say, That's just one of the Bee Gees.”

“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.”

“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.”

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

“As an alcoholic, you have no appreciation for your wife or your children's feelings, but I'm making up for that now. I'm winning my children's trust back.”

“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.”

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