It's actually come as quite a shock to learn just how many people don't like me.
Phil Collins

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
You know, a song is like a kid. You bring it up. And sometimes something you thought was going to be fantastic, by the time it's finished, is a bit of a disappointment...Beyond a certain point, the music isn't mine anymore. It's yours.

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?

As a writer, author, creator of something the fact that people are still interested, is fantastic.
Phil Collins
Image
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.

You leave a country, they stop playing you on the radio.

I'm much happier just to write myself out of the script entirely.
Phil Collins
Image
I don't really belong to that world and I don't think anyone's going to miss me. I'm much happier just to write myself out of the script entirely.

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.
