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.

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.

There were 'big stars' at the Alamo! Bowie, Crockett! It is a huge political event because it, and the events at Goliad and San Jacinto, changed the look of a map of America. America would be a very different place if Texas had remained Mexican.

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.

I never stopped thinking about the Alamo from that day to this. I'm a huge collector of memorabilia. I've got Davy Crockett's bullet pouch. I've got Colonel Travis's belt.

I'm fascinated by what people will do to each other. Actually, I'm sort of interested in the gory details of life.
Phil Collins
Image
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.

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

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

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

Put your faith in what you most believe in.

I've got one of four known Davy Crocket rifles. It's fantastic just to know it's one of the rifles that he actually used. His cousin had it.

This stupid sensitivity! But then women like sensitivity.

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.

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