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.

More quotes by Phil Collins
It's always been easy with Mark, he's a rock fan and we speak the same language. He's a big Beatles fan too. We worked a lot via CLI calls, though only meeting up once every couple of months.
Phil Collins
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
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.
Phil Collins
It's actually come as quite a shock to learn just how many people don't like me.
Phil Collins
The binding of reason and intuition is the fundamental crisis of the era we call humanity. Transcedence of duality is the key.
Phil Collins
If it's the beginning of something - like an album, I'm working on the lyrics and I take a walkman and headset.
Phil Collins
As a writer, author, creator of something the fact that people are still interested, is fantastic.
Phil Collins
I do miss things about Britain. I think there was a misconception, there definitely was, that I left because of bad press, and being pilloried. I left Britain because I fell in love with someone who lived in Switzerland - that was the main thing.
Phil Collins
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
They're the only ones brave enough to give me these opportunities [on being offered a soundtrack!]
Phil Collins
Perception determines insanity.
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
Things happen, but things happen and you follow... your heart is too dramatic, but you follow.
Phil Collins
I prefer black music in general.
Phil Collins
You can wipe off that grin, I know where you've been, it's all been a pack of lies.
Phil Collins
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.
Phil Collins
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
Deep inside us we're not that different at all.
Phil Collins
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.
Phil Collins
The world is in your hands, now use it.
Phil Collins
