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
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.

I'm much happier just to write myself out of the script entirely.
Phil Collins

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
Image
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

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.

Image
Prog rock, with a little good taste, is ok. I tried to bring some of it into this century, I guess.
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
The answer is inside your head it's easy to find if you take it logically.
Phil Collins
Image
I think I was the best drummer!
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.

When children see Michael Jackson they see a human being. When adults see him they see money.

The world is in your hands, now use it.

You leave a country, they stop playing you on the radio.

Another time, we had three days off in Australia, so we went out of our way to fly to Ayres Rock.

In 1977 we played America and Europe three times, and Japan - my marriage suffered as a result. My then wife took the kids to Canada to be near her parents
