Of course you can't please everyone all the time. It's just something that I've got to get over, and I'm better at it now.

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
Image
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.

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.

Image
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
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.

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

Image
Find a way to my heart, and I will always be with you.
Phil Collins
Image
Things happen, but things happen and you follow... your heart is too dramatic, but you follow.

They're the only ones brave enough to give me these opportunities [on being offered a soundtrack!]

It's always been easy with Mark, he's a rock fan and we speak the same language. He's a big Beatles fan too. We worked a lot via CLI calls, though only meeting up once every couple of months.

I prefer black music in general.

Image
When children see Michael Jackson they see a human being. When adults see him they see money.
Phil Collins
Image
I suppose you can't take kids into consideration all the time, but I just wish there could be a bit of flexibility.
Phil Collins
Image
It's actually come as quite a shock to learn just how many people don't like me.
Phil Collins
Image
My only saving grace is that I actually collect things that nobody else is interested in.

Image
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.

You leave a country, they stop playing you on the radio.

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.

'Urban Renewal' was sweet because I've been - unfairly, I would say - plonked in the middle of the road because of a handful of songs. It came at a good time for me, because you do take a bit of a browbeating and, as you get older, you become better at accepting it and realizing why it happens.
