Music became an obsession, and eventually we felt more comfortable with each other then we did with anyone else. The three of us were like one person.

long world wonder
I don't take things for granted, because everything feels more fragile. It's made me wonder about mortality and how long you've got somebody in the world. I'm more fearful than I used to be.

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.

I'm very proud of being a Bee Gee and am always aware that I'll be identified as a Bee Gee.
