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.

I prefer black music in general.
Phil Collins

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

You know, a song is like a kid. You bring it up. And sometimes something you thought was going to be fantastic, by the time it's finished, is a bit of a disappointment...Beyond a certain point, the music isn't mine anymore. It's yours.

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.

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.

'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.

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

The world is in your hands, now use it.
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

The day Tarzan opened in London, I sat in a hotel room and discussed the project in detail.

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

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

I am stopping so I can be a full time father to my two young sons on a daily basis.
Phil Collins
Image
I'm much happier just to write myself out of the script entirely.
Phil Collins
Image
That's going to be on my headstone: 'He came. He wrote 'In the Air Tonight.' He... died.'
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'm fascinated by what people will do to each other. Actually, I'm sort of interested in the gory details of life.

You can wipe off that grin, I know where you've been, it's all been a pack of lies.
