- It's very hard to write a song alone. It's only by jamming that you can get a song together.
- I was always the sexy bass player in the background while [Robin Gibb] stood centre. [Barry Gibb] and I played it up a bit, gave 'em a bit of thigh.
- 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".
- 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.
- The most important thing about recovery is to pass the message on.
