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

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
Find a way to my heart, and I will always be with you.
Phil Collins
Image
That's the trouble with wishing you were somebody else. As much as you may want it, you know it'll never happen, at least not in this lifetime.
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
My only saving grace is that I actually collect things that nobody else is interested in.
Phil Collins

I suppose Phil Collins offers something for everybody, and in hipdom that's not cool. But in the real world, there's no shame in that at all.

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

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.

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

There were 'big stars' at the Alamo! Bowie, Crockett! It is a huge political event because it, and the events at Goliad and San Jacinto, changed the look of a map of America. America would be a very different place if Texas had remained Mexican.

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
This stupid sensitivity! But then women like sensitivity.
Phil Collins
Image
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
The answer is inside your head it's easy to find if you take it logically.
Phil Collins

I used to go to my local pub and it was like a sanctuary, nobody dared ask for an autograph. You went in there for a ploughman's and a pint, and you went home and watched TV. Believe me, there's more to watch on British TV than American, except for CNN right now. But yeah, I miss it.

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
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
Prog rock, with a little good taste, is ok. I tried to bring some of it into this century, I guess.
Phil Collins
Image
When destiny calls you, you've got to be strong. I may not be with you, but you've got to move on.
Phil Collins

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.
