I sometimes wonder if the tragedies my family has suffered are a kind of karmic price for all the fame and fortune the Bee Gees have had.

I'm not a party person or someone who likes to sit and drink in clubs all night, and never really have been. I have a good time through work.

With Maurice suddenly going, I realised... I think I've matured. I don't take things lightly any more.

My whole life has been a bit like a Nintendo game.

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.

I haven't really met anyone else who has influenced me, but you never know, it could happen next year or next month. I just like to go with the spur of the moment.

I don't like lifts and will walk up 20 flights of stairs if I have to. Crowded rooms make me uncomfortable, too, although I can sing to a stadium full of thousands of people no bother.
