When children see Michael Jackson they see a human being. When adults see him they see money.
Phil Collins
Image
I am stopping so I can be a full time father to my two young sons on a daily basis.
Phil Collins
Image
Beyond a certain point, the music isn't mine anymore. It's yours.
Phil Collins
Image
If it's the beginning of something - like an album, I'm working on the lyrics and I take a walkman and headset.
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
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

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

The binding of reason and intuition is the fundamental crisis of the era we call humanity. Transcedence of duality is the key.
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
They're the only ones brave enough to give me these opportunities [on being offered a soundtrack!]
Phil Collins
Image
There's no magic for getting into the groove... just banging away at it. Sometimes the lyrics come first, sometimes the music.
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 always been easy with Mark, he's a rock fan and we speak the same language. He's a big Beatles fan too. We worked a lot via CLI calls, though only meeting up once every couple of months.
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
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
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.
Phil Collins
Image
God is a spa-bath of water and we are all individual bubbles
Phil Collins

When destiny calls you, you've got to be strong. I may not be with you, but you've got to move on.
