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

I suppose Phil Collins offers something for everybody, and in hipdom that's not cool. But in the real world, there's no shame in that at all.
Phil Collins
Image
I didn't become a commercially successful artist by design, and actually I think that commercially successful just means, if you analyse it, that a lot of people like you. It's become a dirty word, and I don't necessarily think it needs to be.
Phil Collins
Image
I can't play anywhere near like I used to, and I was a hot drummer. It doesn't bother me, because frankly, if you get to that point where you can't hold a drumstick properly, there are many other things in life which are far more important, like cutting a loaf of bread or a piece of cheese.

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.

Love can make you do things that you never thought possible

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.

In 1977 we played America and Europe three times, and Japan - my marriage suffered as a result. My then wife took the kids to Canada to be near her parents

As a writer, author, creator of something the fact that people are still interested, is fantastic.
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.
Phil Collins

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

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.

You can wipe off that grin, I know where you've been, it's all been a pack of lies.
Phil Collins

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

The world is in your hands, now use it.
Phil Collins
Image
Things happen, but things happen and you follow... your heart is too dramatic, but you follow.
Phil Collins
Image
Of course you can't please everyone all the time. It's just something that I've got to get over, and I'm better at it now.
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.
