Quote

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.

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.

Everyones a hypercrit and if you don't agree you're a liar as well

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

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.

And I would like to marry and have more children. I would like to try and do it right.

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 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.

That's going to be on my headstone: 'He came. He wrote 'In the Air Tonight.' He... died.'

Another time, we had three days off in Australia, so we went out of our way to fly to Ayres Rock.

Each thing leapfrogs. I do a Genesis project - like now, we're just finishing off an album - and then by the time the album is doing its thing, I could do nothing or I could do a film.

That's the trouble with wishing you were somebody else. As much as you may want it, you know it'll never happen, at least not in this lifetime.

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

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.

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.

I suppose Phil Collins offers something for everybody, and in hipdom that's not cool. But in the real world, there's no shame in that at all.

Beyond a certain point, the music isn't mine anymore. It's yours.

As I've got older, I've got more understanding of relationships and how they work - but every single relationship has different dynamics, so you can't paint everyone with the same colour.

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.

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.
