I used to go to my local pub and it was like a sanctuary, nobody dared ask for an autograph. You went in there for a ploughman's and a pint, and you went home and watched TV. Believe me, there's more to watch on British TV than American, except for CNN right now. But yeah, I miss it.

I know it shouldn't make a difference, but crossing the dateline, we weren't sure what day it was - it was very strange. Now, I seem to cope with it better.

I think I was the best drummer!

God is a spa-bath of water and we are all individual bubbles

Everything has added up to a load that I'm getting tired of carrying. It's gotten so complicated. It's the three failed marriages, and having kids that grew up without me, and it's the personal criticism, of being Mr. Nice Guy, or of divorcing my wife by fax, all that stuff, the journalism, some of which I find insulting.

When children see Michael Jackson they see a human being. When adults see him they see money.

We all have the same problems in relationships.

I just figured if I'm going to call myself a songwriter throughout my life, then writing for most genres of music is something I should at least attempt.

They're the only ones brave enough to give me these opportunities [on being offered a soundtrack!]
Phil Collins

And I would like to marry and have more children. I would like to try and do it right.
Phil Collins
Image
I suppose you can't take kids into consideration all the time, but I just wish there could be a bit of flexibility.
Phil Collins

There's no magic for getting into the groove... just banging away at it. Sometimes the lyrics come first, sometimes the music.

I can't remember much about the early flights, except that it was ages before we got into First Class.

I just don't think of myself as a star. This is what I do for a living I'm fortunate that I make ends meet.

You know, a song is like a kid. You bring it up. And sometimes something you thought was going to be fantastic, by the time it's finished, is a bit of a disappointment...Beyond a certain point, the music isn't mine anymore. It's yours.

That's the trouble with wishing you were somebody else. As much as you may want it, you know it'll never happen, at least not in this lifetime.

I prefer black music in general.
