Barry Gibb

Everybody is a teenage idol.

I don't want to live on past records.

It is not the money but the self-respect and wanting to create good music.

By going solo I could lose a fortune but money is not important.

You are never really prepared for criticism.

The only thing I miss on stage is the falsetto.

Maurice was a silly man. Maurice liked being silly.

Leaving Australia was the hardest thing I have ever done.

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

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

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

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