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
Image
Things happen, but things happen and you follow... your heart is too dramatic, but you follow.
Phil Collins
Image
When destiny calls you, you've got to be strong. I may not be with you, but you've got to move on.
Phil Collins
Image
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 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.

Perception determines insanity.
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.

We all have the same problems in relationships.
Phil Collins
Image
There's no magic for getting into the groove... just banging away at it. Sometimes the lyrics come first, sometimes the music.
Phil Collins
Image
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.
Phil Collins
Image
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.

I'm much happier just to write myself out of the script entirely.
Phil Collins
Image
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
They're the only ones brave enough to give me these opportunities [on being offered a soundtrack!]
Phil Collins
Image
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
Image
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
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.

When children see Michael Jackson they see a human being. When adults see him they see money.

I think I was the best drummer!
