“We said we'd fly the flag without him and carry on. I didn't give him a kiss because I still hadn't accepted what was happening. I was hoping that some miracle was going to happen. Of course, it didn't. I wish I had kissed him now.”
“It makes us feel better that everyone out there is thinking of Maurice.”
“In the beginning, Barry and I couldn't decide if we were going got go forward with the name of the Bee Gees or just as Barry and Robin. Now we've decided to continue as the Bee Gees because we feel we can, and Maurice would have wanted it.”
“If the heart stops for more than two minutes, you have massive brain death. There are only two minutes between our conscious world and zero. That's how fragile our consciousness is.”
“Rarely do I attach guilt to something pleasant. Life's too short.”
“My work means everything to me.”
“How do you explain the bond between man and wife? Well, for one thing, it's private. What people do in their own marriage is their own business.”
“Music is being treated as one big karaoke machine.”
“My idea of a good time is creating something and reading a good book.”
“It's hard for me to put on weight.”
“The illness, and the untimely death of my brothers, has made me conscious of the fact that - rather than just think about it - it's crucial that you do today what you want to do.”

“The Bee Gees, to us, was the three brothers. In Maurice's name, we would respect that and not be the Bee Gees anymore.”

“Nobody will ever take Maurice's place, and he'll go on with us and he'll go on our music. He'll go on with us as the Bee Gees, and Maurice will always be with us.”
“It just felt like the right time to focus on solo material.”
“I love stuff like Mozart.”
“Music became an obsession, and eventually we felt more comfortable with each other then we did with anyone else. The three of us were like one person.”
“I'm really happy that I got to work with such fresh talent. In a day when record companies are not particularly good at encouraging young, talented songwriters to come forward and get exposure, I think it's important to give tomorrow's songwriters the opportunity.”
