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 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

I can't remember much about the early flights, except that it was ages before we got into First Class.

The world is in your hands, now use it.

If it's the beginning of something - like an album, I'm working on the lyrics and I take a walkman and headset.

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.

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