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

More quotes by Phil Collins
I prefer black music in general.
Phil Collins
I'm writing new songs for a Broadway version of Tarzan, which is very interesting. I think what I learned from the Brother Bear score side of things, I've brought into the new Tarzan songs. Thinking outside just guitar, bass, drums and keyboards.
Phil Collins
You leave a country, they stop playing you on the radio.
Phil Collins
The answer is inside your head it's easy to find if you take it logically.
Phil Collins
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.
Phil Collins
You can wipe off that grin, I know where you've been, it's all been a pack of lies.
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.
Phil Collins
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
The day Tarzan opened in London, I sat in a hotel room and discussed the project in detail.
Phil Collins
Things happen, but things happen and you follow... your heart is too dramatic, but you follow.
Phil Collins
All I set out to do was to earn a living playing drums, you know? And as luck would have it, I've surpassed that.
Phil Collins
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
My only saving grace is that I actually collect things that nobody else is interested in.
Phil Collins
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.
Phil Collins
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 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.
Phil Collins
Deep inside us we're not that different at all.
Phil Collins
When children see Michael Jackson they see a human being. When adults see him they see money.
Phil Collins
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
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
