I didn't become a commercially successful artist by design, and actually I think that commercially successful just means, if you analyse it, that a lot of people like you. It's become a dirty word, and I don't necessarily think it needs to be.
Phil Collins

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

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

Image
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.

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.

God is a spa-bath of water and we are all individual bubbles

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.

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
Image
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.

Find a way to my heart, and I will always be with you.

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.

Everyones a hypercrit and if you don't agree you're a liar as well
Phil Collins
Image
And I would like to marry and have more children. I would like to try and do it right.

Image
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.

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

This stupid sensitivity! But then women like sensitivity.

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.

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.

Deep inside us we're not that different at all.
