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

Perception determines insanity.

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

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

There's no magic for getting into the groove... just banging away at it. Sometimes the lyrics come first, sometimes the music.

Another time, we had three days off in Australia, so we went out of our way to fly to Ayres Rock.

I do miss things about Britain. I think there was a misconception, there definitely was, that I left because of bad press, and being pilloried. I left Britain because I fell in love with someone who lived in Switzerland - that was the main thing.

I prefer black music in general.

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

That's going to be on my headstone: 'He came. He wrote 'In the Air Tonight.' He... died.'

I am stopping so I can be a full time father to my two young sons on a daily basis.

Prog rock, with a little good taste, is ok. I tried to bring some of it into this century, I guess.
