I respect the people who buy my records and come to my concerts. It's only fair that I always try to give them the very best that's in me. After all, I need them more than they need me.
Andy Gibb
The Bee Gees were always heavily influenced by black music. As a songwriter, it's never been difficult to pick up on the changing styles of music out there, and soul has always been my favourite genre.
Robin Gibb
The Bee Gees who are brilliant, I just love great music.
Michael Jackson
There is nothing to compare with the instantaneous feedback a singer gets from the people sitting in front of him. That is where it all comes together - all the rehearsing and working to get everything just exactly right.
Andy Gibb
As long as you're having fun, that's the key. The moment it becomes a grind, it's over.
Barry Gibb
But even now, when people see me in the street, they point upwards to the sky.
Barry Gibb
I just love the feeling a close family gives you and I wouldn't change it for anything.
Barry Gibb
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.
Barry Gibb
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.
Barry Gibb
Only Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Garth Brooks and Paul McCartney have outsold the Bee Gees
