More quotes by 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
When children see Michael Jackson they see a human being. When adults see him they see money.
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
There's no magic for getting into the groove... just banging away at it. Sometimes the lyrics come first, sometimes the music.
Phil Collins
That's going to be on my headstone: 'He came. He wrote 'In the Air Tonight.' He... died.'
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
Before you write - remember that every speech has something of 'you' in the writing. Don't take that away when you write. Be yourself. Be comfortable in your own skin.
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'll regret the day you ever messed with Philadelphia Collins and sons
Phil Collins
To be honest, producing records interests me less at the moment and I really don't want to get involved in album projects that are going to take up a lot of time
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 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
And I would like to marry and have more children. I would like to try and do it right.
Phil Collins
As I've got older, I've got more understanding of relationships and how they work - but every single relationship has different dynamics, so you can't paint everyone with the same colour.
Phil Collins
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
In 1977 we played America and Europe three times, and Japan - my marriage suffered as a result. My then wife took the kids to Canada to be near her parents
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
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
God is a spa-bath of water and we are all individual bubbles
