More quotes by Phil Collins
'Urban Renewal' was sweet because I've been - unfairly, I would say - plonked in the middle of the road because of a handful of songs. It came at a good time for me, because you do take a bit of a browbeating and, as you get older, you become better at accepting it and realizing why it happens.
Phil Collins
I prefer black music in general.
Phil Collins
Everyones a hypercrit and if you don't agree you're a liar as well
Phil Collins
I think I was the best drummer!
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
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
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?
Phil Collins
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
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.
Phil Collins
I do miss things about Britain. I think there was a misconception, there definitely was, that I left because of bad press, and being pilloried. I left Britain because I fell in love with someone who lived in Switzerland - that was the main thing.
Phil Collins
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.
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
When children see Michael Jackson they see a human being. When adults see him they see money.
Phil Collins
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.
Phil Collins
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.
Phil Collins
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.
Phil Collins
The world is in your hands, now use it.
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
God is a spa-bath of water and we are all individual bubbles
Phil Collins
Put your faith in what you most believe in.
