It's very hard to write a song alone. It's only by jamming that you can get a song together.
The most important thing about recovery is to pass the message on.
No one knew me until I met my wife Lulu. Lulu's mother used to ask, Which one is Maurice? For six months she thought Lulu was dating Barry.
When Andy died, I just drank to dumb my mind.
FOr a while, I'd never had the opportunity to prove on TV that I could play the piano.
I'm quite proud of my piano playing. Robin's never played a note on the piano at our recording sessions. I just wish I could be appreciated musically now.
Robin hasn't got a big nose - but I can soon arrange that.
Robin had always wanted to go solo, so when it happened I wasn't angry at all. I understood the situation. But Barry is so full of pride and couldn't understand why Robin had done it.
Tiny Tim? Anyone could sing like that. It's atrocious. It's hideous, really.
As an alcoholic, you have no appreciation for your wife or your children's feelings, but I'm making up for that now. I'm winning my children's trust back.
I think we have to act like stars because it is expected of us. So we drive our big cars and live in our smart houses.
I'm not a big blues fan, but I don't know anyone who doesn't dig B.B. King.

I suppose being his twin made me understand Robin that much more easily.
They don't bother too much with the balance and things on blues records.
I write the music because I can't really write lyrics. But I can write chords like Robin's never heard of. So I provide the music for them to add the lyrics to.
America? They had a good girl singer, Janis Joplin.
Barry seems to be more flamboyant merely because he gets more interviews to talk about it.
Elton wanted a garden. They were building all afternoon while we were rehearsing. And then they built a fountain for Elton. And he said, I was only joking!
Everybody who knows us knows we always have a good time.
