Things happen, but things happen and you follow... your heart is too dramatic, but you follow.
Phil Collins
Image
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
Image
Each thing leapfrogs. I do a Genesis project - like now, we're just finishing off an album - and then by the time the album is doing its thing, I could do nothing or I could do a film.
Phil Collins
Image
It's actually come as quite a shock to learn just how many people don't like me.
Phil Collins
Image
My only saving grace is that I actually collect things that nobody else is interested in.
Phil Collins
Image
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
Image
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
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.
Phil Collins
Image
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
Image
The answer is inside your head it's easy to find if you take it logically.
Phil Collins
Image
Find a way to my heart, and I will always be with you.
Phil Collins
Image
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
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.
Phil Collins
Image
Catering on planes, like on British Rail, is a standing joke, but I don't really have a problem with it. I don't quite know what people expect.
Phil Collins
Image
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
Image
No seriously... when there's families, you tend to go back to your room after the gig rather than go for a drink with the other guys. But there's always someone who's got something going, like the tour manager.
Phil Collins
Image
I never said I was at the Alamo. Someone else said I was at the Alamo. Now I'm a nutter. I don't think that's fair.
Phil Collins
Image
The day Tarzan opened in London, I sat in a hotel room and discussed the project in detail.
Phil Collins
Image
I'm fascinated by what people will do to each other. Actually, I'm sort of interested in the gory details of life.

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.
