More quotes by 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
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.
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
You leave a country, they stop playing you on the radio.
Phil Collins
I think I was the best drummer!
Phil Collins
It's actually come as quite a shock to learn just how many people don't like me.
Phil Collins
Love can make you do things that you never thought possible

They're the only ones brave enough to give me these opportunities [on being offered a soundtrack!]
Phil Collins
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
I prefer black music in general.
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.
Phil Collins
Catering on planes, like on British Rail, is a standing joke, but I don't really have a problem with it. I don't quite know what people expect.
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
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
Phil Collins
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.
Phil Collins
Put your faith in what you most believe in.
Phil Collins
Deep inside us we're not that different at all.
Phil Collins
I am stopping so I can be a full time father to my two young sons on a daily basis.
Phil Collins
Prog rock, with a little good taste, is ok. I tried to bring some of it into this century, I guess.
Phil Collins
You can wipe off that grin, I know where you've been, it's all been a pack of lies.
Phil Collins
