Love can make you do things that you never thought possible
Phil Collins
Image
Everything has added up to a load that I'm getting tired of carrying. It's gotten so complicated. It's the three failed marriages, and having kids that grew up without me, and it's the personal criticism, of being Mr. Nice Guy, or of divorcing my wife by fax, all that stuff, the journalism, some of which I find insulting.

Beyond a certain point, the music isn't mine anymore. It's yours.

We're all turkeys! Some of us are running around with our heads cut off, some of us are flapping our wings that hard we're close to flying. But nothing is an eagle bar God.

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.
Phil Collins

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

We all have the same problems in relationships.
Phil Collins
Image
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.
Phil Collins
Image
The world is in your hands, now use it.
Phil Collins
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.
Phil Collins
Image
This stupid sensitivity! But then women like sensitivity.
Phil Collins
Image
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.
Phil Collins
Image
Another time, we had three days off in Australia, so we went out of our way to fly to Ayres Rock.
Phil Collins

There's no magic for getting into the groove... just banging away at it. Sometimes the lyrics come first, sometimes the music.
