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.

I can't remember much about the early flights, except that it was ages before we got into First Class.
Phil Collins

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?

This stupid sensitivity! But then women like sensitivity.

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

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
Image
My only saving grace is that I actually collect things that nobody else is interested in.

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

God is a spa-bath of water and we are all individual bubbles

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.

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

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

'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.

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.

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.

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

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

You'll regret the day you ever messed with Philadelphia Collins and sons

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

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.
