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
Image
I just figured if I'm going to call myself a songwriter throughout my life, then writing for most genres of music is something I should at least attempt.
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
God is a spa-bath of water and we are all individual bubbles
Phil Collins
Image
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

Deep inside us we're not that different at all.
Phil Collins

I think I was the best drummer!
Phil Collins

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

The world is in your hands, now use it.
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
Image
They're the only ones brave enough to give me these opportunities [on being offered a soundtrack!]
Phil Collins
Image
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
Image
Beyond a certain point, the music isn't mine anymore. It's yours.
Phil Collins
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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

No seriously... when there's families, you tend to go back to your room after the gig rather than go for a drink with the other guys. But there's always someone who's got something going, like the tour manager.

This stupid sensitivity! But then women like sensitivity.
