Quotes by Robin Gibb
Robin Gibb's insights on:

I’m really happy that I got to work with such fresh talent. In a day when record companies are not particularly good at encouraging young, talented songwriters to come forward and get exposure, I think it’s important to give tomorrow’s songwriters the opportunity.

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.

Lots of people aren’t comfortable with silences. They feel they’ve got to fill the dead air.

We said we’d fly the flag without him and carry on. I didn’t give him a kiss because I still hadn’t accepted what was happening. I was hoping that some miracle was going to happen. Of course, it didn’t. I wish I had kissed him now.

If some people can imagine that a person they love is alive in another world, why can’t I imagine Maurice is alive in this one An artist is a person who uses art to run away from reality. It’s not wrong-it’s survival. There’s nothing wrong with me creating a world in which Maurice is alive.
