More quotes by Phil Collins
Find a way to my heart, and I will always be with you.
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 can't remember much about the early flights, except that it was ages before we got into First Class.
Phil Collins
There's no magic for getting into the groove... just banging away at it. Sometimes the lyrics come first, sometimes the music.
Phil Collins
I think I was the best drummer!
Phil Collins
Things happen, but things happen and you follow... your heart is too dramatic, but you follow.
Phil Collins
We all have the same problems in relationships.
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
There's something perverse isn't there, if you're playing in front of 100,000 people and there's 2000 people down the front who don't like, you think: what is it that they don't like?
Phil Collins
You can wipe off that grin, I know where you've been, it's all been a pack of lies.
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.
Phil Collins
The world is in your hands, now use it.
Phil Collins
I am stopping so I can be a full time father to my two young sons on a daily basis.
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
And I would like to marry and have more children. I would like to try and do it right.
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
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.
Phil Collins
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.
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
Prog rock, with a little good taste, is ok. I tried to bring some of it into this century, I guess.
Phil Collins
