BARRY GIBB

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

I've worked with a lot of people who are more famous than myself who are terribly insecure.

He was the average guy. Maurice, I think, reflected every man.

My music, certainly, has never embarrassed me.

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.

Everybody is a teenage idol.

But even now, when people see me in the street, they point upwards to the sky.

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

I don't ever wish I was somebody else.

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

I will always have my songs and I don't think I will ever dry-up.

It is commercial pop that the majority of people understand. A working man's daughter would not understand blues.

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

I'm Mr Boring, not a party-goer at all.

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.

I have a huge ego and a huge inferiority complex at the same time.

I like blues but it is music I am too ignorant to understand.

We were very influenced by The Beatles, no question.

Maurice was a silly man. Maurice liked being silly.

But all bubbles have a way of bursting or being deflated in the end.

I never really did any disco dancing.

As long as you're having fun, that's the key. The moment it becomes a grind, it's over.

I love making records; I love making music; I love writing songs.

I don't want to live on past records.
