All I set out to do was to earn a living playing drums, you know? And as luck would have it, I've surpassed that.
Phil Collins
Image
Many people think of me as a perfectionist, someone who polishes and shines each song and performance. I've always been bothered by that assumption.
Phil Collins
Image
You can wipe off that grin, I know where you've been, it's all been a pack of lies.
Phil Collins
Image
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.
Phil Collins
Image
No seriously... when there's families, you tend to go back to your room after the gig rather than go for a drink with the other guys. But there's always someone who's got something going, like the tour manager.

I've got one of four known Davy Crocket rifles. It's fantastic just to know it's one of the rifles that he actually used. His cousin had it.

When children see Michael Jackson they see a human being. When adults see him they see money.
Phil Collins
Image
The binding of reason and intuition is the fundamental crisis of the era we call humanity. Transcedence of duality is the key.

I do miss things about Britain. I think there was a misconception, there definitely was, that I left because of bad press, and being pilloried. I left Britain because I fell in love with someone who lived in Switzerland - that was the main thing.

The world is in your hands, now use it.

Love can make you do things that you never thought possible

When we're touring America or Europe, we use our own plane and a great advantage of that is it cuts out an awful lot of time checking in. You literally drive up to the plane, get on and then drive off at the other end.

Deep inside us we're not that different at all.
Phil Collins

Put your faith in what you most believe in.
Phil Collins
Image
I don't want to preach, but I really think the rudiments are very important to developing your drumming skills. Many of the patterns I've recorded came from things like paradiddles, flam paradiddles, flam triplets... They might be boring to sit down and practice, but not when you apply them to the drums.

Prog rock, with a little good taste, is ok. I tried to bring some of it into this century, I guess.
Phil Collins
Image
'Urban Renewal' was sweet because I've been - unfairly, I would say - plonked in the middle of the road because of a handful of songs. It came at a good time for me, because you do take a bit of a browbeating and, as you get older, you become better at accepting it and realizing why it happens.

I prefer black music in general.

Another time, we had three days off in Australia, so we went out of our way to fly to Ayres Rock.
