Quote

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.

Perception determines insanity.

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'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.

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.

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

There's something perverse isn't there, if you're playing in front of 100,000 people and there's 2000 people down the front who don't like, you think: what is it that they don't like?

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

Things happen, but things happen and you follow... your heart is too dramatic, but you follow.
Phil Collins

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

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.

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

Prog rock, with a little good taste, is ok. I tried to bring some of it into this century, I guess.

Love can make you do things that you never thought possible

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.

When we're touring America or Europe, we use our own plane and a great advantage of that is it cuts out an awful lot of time checking in. You literally drive up to the plane, get on and then drive off at the other end.
