More quotes by Phil Collins
And I would like to marry and have more children. I would like to try and do it right.
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
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
When you're young you want to show people what you can do, no matter what the cost. Whereas when you're older, and you realise that maybe a drum machine is better than you playing, then use the drum machine.
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
Another time, we had three days off in Australia, so we went out of our way to fly to Ayres Rock.
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
The binding of reason and intuition is the fundamental crisis of the era we call humanity. Transcedence of duality is the key.
Phil Collins
You know, a song is like a kid. You bring it up. And sometimes something you thought was going to be fantastic, by the time it's finished, is a bit of a disappointment...Beyond a certain point, the music isn't mine anymore. It's yours.
Phil Collins
I can't play anywhere near like I used to, and I was a hot drummer. It doesn't bother me, because frankly, if you get to that point where you can't hold a drumstick properly, there are many other things in life which are far more important, like cutting a loaf of bread or a piece of cheese.
Phil Collins
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
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
As a writer, author, creator of something the fact that people are still interested, is fantastic.
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.
Phil Collins
I don't really belong to that world and I don't think anyone's going to miss me. I'm much happier just to write myself out of the script entirely.

Phil Collins
Catering on planes, like on British Rail, is a standing joke, but I don't really have a problem with it. I don't quite know what people expect.
Phil Collins
If it's the beginning of something - like an album, I'm working on the lyrics and I take a walkman and headset.
Phil Collins
I don't want to preach, but I really think the rudiments are very important to developing your drumming skills. Many of the patterns I've recorded came from things like paradiddles, flam paradiddles, flam triplets... They might be boring to sit down and practice, but not when you apply them to the drums.
Phil Collins
Deep inside us we're not that different at all.
Phil Collins
