I never said I was at the Alamo. Someone else said I was at the Alamo. Now I'm a nutter. I don't think that's fair.

I prefer black music in general.

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.

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.

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
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.
Phil Collins
Image
Things happen, but things happen and you follow... your heart is too dramatic, but you follow.

Perception determines insanity.

The world is in your hands, now use it.

There's something perverse isn't there, if you're playing in front of 100,000 people and there's 2000 people down the front who don't like, you think: what is it that they don't like?

If it's the beginning of something - like an album, I'm working on the lyrics and I take a walkman and headset.

I suppose you can't take kids into consideration all the time, but I just wish there could be a bit of flexibility.

When destiny calls you, you've got to be strong. I may not be with you, but you've got to move on.
