I don't really belong to that world and I don't think anyone's going to miss me. I'm much happier just to write myself out of the script entirely.

Perception determines insanity.

I think I was the best drummer!
Phil Collins

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.

There were 'big stars' at the Alamo! Bowie, Crockett! It is a huge political event because it, and the events at Goliad and San Jacinto, changed the look of a map of America. America would be a very different place if Texas had remained Mexican.

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?

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.

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.

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
My only saving grace is that I actually collect things that nobody else is interested in.
Phil Collins
Image
To be honest, producing records interests me less at the moment and I really don't want to get involved in album projects that are going to take up a lot of time

Put your faith in what you most believe in.

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
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
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
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.

I never stopped thinking about the Alamo from that day to this. I'm a huge collector of memorabilia. I've got Davy Crockett's bullet pouch. I've got Colonel Travis's belt.

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

The answer is inside your head it's easy to find if you take it logically.
