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
Image
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.
Phil Collins
Image
And I would like to marry and have more children. I would like to try and do it right.
Phil Collins
Image
Often there's a BA crew, because half the time we stay at the same hotels, especially in Australia. I can remember spending quite a lot of time with crews around the pool there. They always make themselves known to us.

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.
Phil Collins

You can wipe off that grin, I know where you've been, it's all been a pack of lies.
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
When you're young you want to show people what you can do, no matter what the cost. Whereas when you're older, and you realise that maybe a drum machine is better than you playing, then use the drum machine.

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 prefer black music in general.
Phil Collins
Image
I'm fascinated by what people will do to each other. Actually, I'm sort of interested in the gory details of life.
Phil Collins
Image
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.

God is a spa-bath of water and we are all individual bubbles
Phil Collins
Image
Each thing leapfrogs. I do a Genesis project - like now, we're just finishing off an album - and then by the time the album is doing its thing, I could do nothing or I could do a film.
Phil Collins
Image
As I've got older, I've got more understanding of relationships and how they work - but every single relationship has different dynamics, so you can't paint everyone with the same colour.
Phil Collins

The answer is inside your head it's easy to find if you take it logically.
Phil Collins
Image
As a writer, author, creator of something the fact that people are still interested, is fantastic.
Phil Collins

'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.

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

The day Tarzan opened in London, I sat in a hotel room and discussed the project in detail.
