More quotes by Phil Collins
That's the trouble with wishing you were somebody else. As much as you may want it, you know it'll never happen, at least not in this lifetime.
Phil Collins
The answer is inside your head it's easy to find if you take it logically.
Phil Collins
Many people think of me as a perfectionist, someone who polishes and shines each song and performance. I've always been bothered by that assumption.
Phil Collins
You'll regret the day you ever messed with Philadelphia Collins and sons
Phil Collins
Beyond a certain point, the music isn't mine anymore. It's yours.
Phil Collins
I prefer black music in general.
Phil Collins
I am stopping so I can be a full time father to my two young sons on a daily basis.
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
As a writer, author, creator of something the fact that people are still interested, is fantastic.
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
This stupid sensitivity! But then women like sensitivity.
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
God is a spa-bath of water and we are all individual bubbles
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
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
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
I can't remember much about the early flights, except that it was ages before we got into First Class.
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
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
Often there's a BA crew, because half the time we stay at the same hotels, especially in Australia. I can remember spending quite a lot of time with crews around the pool there. They always make themselves known to us.
Phil Collins
