Quote

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.

Deep inside us we're not that different at all.
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
Image
In 1977 we played America and Europe three times, and Japan - my marriage suffered as a result. My then wife took the kids to Canada to be near her parents
Phil Collins
Image
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
Image
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
Image
And I would like to marry and have more children. I would like to try and do it right.

The world is in your hands, now use it.
Phil Collins

The answer is inside your head it's easy to find if you take it logically.
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.

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.
Phil Collins
Image
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
Image
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

Beyond a certain point, the music isn't mine anymore. It's yours.
Phil Collins
Image
It's actually come as quite a shock to learn just how many people don't like me.
Phil Collins
Image
I prefer black music in general.
Phil Collins
Image
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
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
You can wipe off that grin, I know where you've been, it's all been a pack of lies.

The day Tarzan opened in London, I sat in a hotel room and discussed the project in detail.
