I've spent the last year and a half going through a very public separation, hiding in hotel lobbies.

In Genesis we saw ourselves as...

In Genesis we saw ourselves as song-writers. After Peter Gabriel left I was the first to say: 'It's OK - we can just do instrumentals.'

It's not often that an English drummer gets an Oscar. So I'm very, very proud of that.

Many of the articles printed over the last few months have ended up painting a picture of me that is more than a little distorted.

Many people think of me as a p...

Many people think of me as a perfectionist, someone who polishes and shines each song and performance. I've always been bothered by that assumption.

My only saving grace is that I...

My only saving grace is that I actually collect things that nobody else is interested in.

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

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

You know, I've released some great records and I've released some dogs. But frankly, the fun is in creating the thing.

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 grew up in the day when the Beatles sold 1 million singles in a week. And all you've got to do now is sell about 10,000 singles and you're in the charts.

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 03.03.2018 03:03:03 132 quotes

I never stopped thinking about...

I never stopped thinking about the Alamo from that day to this. I'm a huge collector of memorabilia. I've got Davy Crockett's bullet pouch. I've got Colonel Travis's belt.

I usually hang around the room...

I usually hang around the room listening to a bit of last night's show. If there's one available, I go to the steam room every day for my voice. I spend half an hour there and then I eat, because I can't eat later than four o'clock. Then I go for a soundcheck. That's my day.

I'm not trying necessarily to ...

I'm not trying necessarily to become a movie star; that wouldn't be bad but that's not the aim. I'm just trying to do interesting things and go into areas where I've not been before.

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.

If Miles Davis hadn't died it ...

If Miles Davis hadn't died it would have been interesting to do an album with him, but there wasn't much else that would have got me into the studio... although Herbie Hancock has just been in touch about doing something and that would be an interesting combination.

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.

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.

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.
