Andy Gibb Quotes
-
Victoria didn't tell a soul about our love affair, nor did I. We spent time at each other's homes, sneaking in and out like criminals, although we were so profoundly happy it was ridiculous.

I love the soul sound that the Bee Gees are into now, and that's the kind of feel that I want to have on all my records. Unfortunately, though, I don't write in that vein.

The most embarrassing thing for me was the day Bob Hope called me up and I was spaced out on cocaine. I was supposed to do his TV special, and I didn't turn up. Consequently, I was blacklisted by NBC for a long time. I damaged my career, and almost ruined my whole life.

I grew up in a show business family, so we've always had a great sense of balance, being so close to my parents. I've always known what is and isn't reality.

I was moving about with my own gang, the skinheads, wearing steel-toed army boots and kicking in shop windows.
