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.

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.

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.

I'm writing new songs for a Broadway version of Tarzan, which is very interesting. I think what I learned from the Brother Bear score side of things, I've brought into the new Tarzan songs. Thinking outside just guitar, bass, drums and keyboards.

Find a way to my heart, and I will always be with you.

'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.

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.

The binding of reason and intuition is the fundamental crisis of the era we call humanity. Transcedence of duality is the key.
Phil Collins
Image
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.

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.

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

Perception determines insanity.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

We're all turkeys! Some of us are running around with our heads cut off, some of us are flapping our wings that hard we're close to flying. But nothing is an eagle bar God.
