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.

More quotes by Phil Collins
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
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
Perception determines insanity.
Phil Collins
Love can make you do things that you never thought possible
Phil Collins
Things happen, but things happen and you follow... your heart is too dramatic, but you follow.
Phil Collins
I don't want to preach, but I really think the rudiments are very important to developing your drumming skills. Many of the patterns I've recorded came from things like paradiddles, flam paradiddles, flam triplets... They might be boring to sit down and practice, but not when you apply them to the drums.
Phil Collins
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
There's no magic for getting into the groove... just banging away at it. Sometimes the lyrics come first, sometimes the music.
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
I'm much happier just to write myself out of the script entirely.
Phil Collins
We're all turkeys! Some of us are running around with our heads cut off, some of us are flapping our wings that hard we're close to flying. But nothing is an eagle bar God.
Phil Collins
It's actually come as quite a shock to learn just how many people don't like me.
Phil Collins
I suppose you can't take kids into consideration all the time, but I just wish there could be a bit of flexibility.
Phil Collins
You leave a country, they stop playing you on the radio.
Phil Collins
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
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.
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 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
And I would like to marry and have more children. I would like to try and do it right.
Phil Collins
Before you write - remember that every speech has something of 'you' in the writing. Don't take that away when you write. Be yourself. Be comfortable in your own skin.
Phil Collins
