Take a look at me now, cause there's just an empty space. And you coming back to me is against all odds and that's what I've got to face. ~ Phil Collins
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
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. ~ Phil Collins
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
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
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
Genesis fans are a religious group! ~ Phil Collins
Phil Collins quotes by 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
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
I joined Genesis when I was 19. I've earned the right to actually do nothing. I don't want to be a shadow of what I was, so I've kind of just quite willingly stood back. ~ Phil Collins
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
I'm fascinated by what people will do to each other. Actually, I'm sort of interested in the gory details of life. ~ Phil Collins
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
I will now sing another song for your pleasure. Now, if you like Phil Collins ... you should be shot in the head. ~ Robert Clark
Phil Collins quotes by Robert Clark
I'm not a singer who plays a bit of drums. I'm a drummer that sings a bit. ~ Phil Collins

-Charlie's mixtape ~ Stephen Chbosky
Phil Collins quotes by Stephen Chbosky
The difference between the American version of 'Live Aid' and the British one - in England, if you wanted a cup of tea, you made it yourself. If you wanted a sandwich, you bought it. In typical American style, at the American concert, there were laminated tour passes and champagne and caviar. ~ Phil Collins
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
I very rarely listen to the in-flight stuff. ~ Phil Collins
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
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
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
I can't remember much about the early flights, except that it was ages before we got into First Class. ~ Phil Collins
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
Think twice; it's just another day for you and me in paradise. ~ Phil Collins
Phil Collins quotes by 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
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
I know somebody from university who's called Phil Collins, and I think there's something terribly unfortunate about sharing a name with somebody who either is famous or becomes famous. ~ David Walliams
Phil Collins quotes by David Walliams
You don't have to be great to be successful. Look at Phil Collins. ~ Noel Gallagher
Phil Collins quotes by Noel Gallagher
People say footballers have terrible taste in music but I would dispute that. In the car at the moment I've got The Corrs, Cher, Phil Collins, Shania Twain and Rod Stewart. ~ Andy Gray
Phil Collins quotes by Andy Gray
People hate a break-up, but they love a break-up song. ~ Phil Collins
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
We're all turkeys! Some of us are running around with our heads cut off, some of us are flapping our wings that hard we're close to flying. But nothing is an eagle bar God ... ~ Phil Collins
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
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. ~ Phil Collins
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
I envy drummers. It must be the ultimate to sing and play drums at the same time. Phil Collins, no wonder he's so f ... happy. ~ Noel Gallagher
Phil Collins quotes by Noel Gallagher
Yes, I am aware that I have become a caricature. I've thought about this. Conceptually, what I'd like to do is the equivalent of writing myself out of the script. ~ Phil Collins
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
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. ~ Phil Collins
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
I've bought pretty much every book ever written about the Alamo, and I talk to my friends that I've made over the past 15, 20 years. It's just a constant learning and fascinating thing for me. ~ Phil Collins
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
Like last night I had a sequence with a gun and, to be honest, for me to be threatening with a gun and not be comical is quite hard. ~ Phil Collins
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
My advice to you is be boring, square, asshole parents ... When I have kids, the most recent CD I will own - Phil Collins, No Jacket Required, and I'll rave about it. 'Do you like rock 'n' roll? 'Cause this is rockin' good stuff, kid.' ~ Patton Oswalt
Phil Collins quotes by Patton Oswalt
When I was five or six, I started dressing up like Davy Crockett. ~ Phil Collins
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
On the day of the show, I sit down with someone that speaks very good English and someone who speaks the local language very well and work out what I'm going to say. ~ Phil Collins
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
When children see Michael Jackson they see a human being. When adults see him they see money. ~ Phil Collins
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
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. ~ Phil Collins
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
The opportunity to record the song came when Phil Collins' record label, Atlantic, was doing a tribute album to him and they asked all these different artists to do renditions of his songs. ~ Deborah Cox
Phil Collins quotes by Deborah Cox
That's going to be on my headstone: 'He came. He wrote 'In the Air Tonight.' He ... died.' ~ Phil Collins
Phil Collins quotes by 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
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
You'll regret the day you ever messed with Philadelphia Collins and sons ~ Phil Collins
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
In learning we teach and in teaching we learn. ~ Phil Collins
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
I started drumming around the same time I came across this part of American history. But there seemed to be a way forward playing drums. There didn't seem to be a way forward being fascinated by a piece of history. ~ Phil Collins
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
Phil Collins sold five times as many records as I did. Does that make him nearly as influential as I am? Nope. ~ Noel Gallagher
Phil Collins quotes by Noel Gallagher
It's not often that an English drummer gets an Oscar. So I'm very, very proud of that. ~ Phil Collins
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
The world is in your hands, now use it. ~ Phil Collins
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
I've always had a soft spot for Phil Collins. He's a great vocalist. ~ Ben Gibbard
Phil Collins quotes by Ben Gibbard
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. ~ Phil Collins
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
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. ~ Phil Collins
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
I don't own an ABBA album, and I never had the urge to go and buy one. If you're just talking about well crafted pop songs, they were fantastic. ~ Phil Collins
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
Wait for it, wait for it! Anticipation is half the fun, So I've been told ... ~ Phil Collins
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
I've been a long-distance father. ~ Phil Collins
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
Testimony is contingent on experience, that's why we're all free spirits ~ Phil Collins
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
Non-physicality may soon come to dominate our reality. Thanx Quatum Mechanics! ~ Phil Collins
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
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. ~ Phil Collins
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
I'm just trying to do things that are interesting for me. ~ Phil Collins
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
The stereotypical rock-star-trashing-a-hotel-room thing? Those days had passed by the time I was in a band big enough to do it. ~ Phil Collins
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
The way we got Phil Collins for 'Tarzan' was that we heard around the studio that he was looking for a Disney project, and we got him. It seemed like a perfect match. Phil is a great musician. ~ Kevin Lima
Phil Collins quotes by Kevin Lima
You know what I hate about rock? I hate tie-dyed tee shirts. I wouldn't wear a tie-dyed tee shirt unless it was dyed with the urine of Phil Collins and the blood of Jerry Garcia. ~ Kurt Cobain
Phil Collins quotes by Kurt Cobain
Find a way to my heart, and I will always be with you. ~ Phil Collins
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
When we're touring America or Europe, we use our own plane and a great advantage of that is it cuts out an awful lot of time checking in. You literally drive up to the plane, get on and then drive off at the other end. ~ Phil Collins
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
Originally, I thought the story of the Alamo was all these men defending their liberty when they could have left, knowing they were going to die. That's without a doubt what appealed to me, the romance and the nobility. But, as in life, the more you dig the more you find out that things weren't quite like that. ~ Phil Collins
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
I have never been a Conservative, or at least not since being a young teenager. My father voted Conservative, and even his doing that was a hangover from the '50s and '60s, which may have been an influence on me. ~ Phil Collins
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
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.' ~ Phil Collins
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
I know right now she has no idea who I am, but I'd like to collaborate with Enya one day. Of course I'd love to work with Jay-Z, maybe even Phil Collins. I love his voice. ~ Nicki Minaj
Phil Collins quotes by Nicki Minaj
Just look over your shoulder...I'll be there always. ~ Phil Collins
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
I don't really listen to music. ~ Phil Collins
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
I wanna know, can you show me
I wanna know 'bout these
Strangers Like Me
Tell me more, please show me
Something's familiar 'bout these
Strangers Like Me ~ Phil Collins
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
The records that I grew up listening to had feel, and the drummers that inspired me - like Stewart Copeland, Neil Peart, Phil Collins and Roger Taylor - all had their own voice and individual style. ~ Taylor Hawkins
Phil Collins quotes by Taylor Hawkins
Beyond a certain point, the music isn't mine anymore. It's yours. ~ Phil Collins
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
I'm not trying to be the next Dave Grohl or Phil Collins. ~ Taylor Hawkins
Phil Collins quotes by Taylor Hawkins
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
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
I'm sorry that it was all so successful. I honestly didn't mean it to happen like that. It's hardly surprising that people grew to hate me. ~ Phil Collins
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
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. ~ Phil Collins
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
There's no magic for getting into the groove ... just banging away at it. Sometimes the lyrics come first, sometimes the music. ~ Phil Collins
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
Put your faith in what you most believe in. ~ Phil Collins
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
Just because you sell lots of records it doesn't mean to say you're any good. Look at Phil Collins. ~ Noel Gallagher
Phil Collins quotes by Noel Gallagher
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
Phil Collins quotes by 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
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
We've been around long enough and have been to enough award shows to know that it is easy to lose to Phil Collins at any time. ~ Matt Stone
Phil Collins quotes by Matt Stone
We stayed in some pretty shabby places in Europe. ~ Phil Collins
Phil Collins 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
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
I am stopping so I can be a full-time father to my two young sons on a daily basis. ~ Phil Collins
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
The answer is inside your head; it's easy to find if you take it logically. ~ Phil Collins
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
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. ~ Phil Collins
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
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
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
God is a spa-bath of water and we are all individual bubbles ~ Phil Collins
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
To see a lot of the smaller labels disappear or get gobbled up by the bigger labels, that's a shame. It was a bit of a shock at first to see the demise of the record stores. ~ Phil Collins
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
Everyones a hypercrit and if you don't agree you're a liar as well ~ Phil Collins
Phil Collins quotes by 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
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Collins
Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Christy, take off your robe. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. Sabrina, remove your dress. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Sabrina, why don't you, uh, dance a little. Take the lyrics to Land of Confusion. In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political authority. In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I've heard in rock. Christy, get down on your knees so Sabrina can see your asshole. Phil Collins' solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like In the Air Tonight and Against All Odds. Sabrina, don't just stare at it, eat it. But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word art ~ Bret Easton Ellis
Phil Collins quotes by Bret Easton Ellis
There was a DJ who stayed up for eleven days straight, the longest recorded period of time anyone has ever gone without sleep, and he started playing nothing by Phil Collins, and that's how they knew it was time to call the ambulance. ~ Meg Cabot
Phil Collins quotes by Meg Cabot
We can't be friends. That never works. I'd have to be all careful and brave and pathetic, you'd feel guilty all the time and you'd start being nice in weird fake ways to make up for it.' She was starting to cry, but she felt free, she felt relieved as you can only feel when you have wrecked yourself on the rocks and don't have to worry about navigating anymore. ~ Susan Gilbert-Collins
Phil Collins quotes by Susan Gilbert-Collins
To the unwashed public, Joan Collins is a star. But to those who know her, she's a commodity who would sell her own bowel movement. ~ Anthony Newley
Phil Collins quotes by Anthony Newley
There's no upside to bitterness, so why be bitter? ~ Phil Klay
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Klay
It is said if an organization listens to the complaint of a customer and the problem is fixed, the customer remains a loyal customer and tells approximately seven others about the experience. Conversely, if a person is ignored and the problem not fixed, that customer will not deal with that organization anymore and will tell approximately twenty other people about the negative experience. ~ Phil Pringle
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Pringle
I paid my way through college as a carpenter and a woodworker. So I've built the house I live in and most of the furniture that's in it, and I do a lot of woodworking still. ~ Misha Collins
Phil Collins quotes by Misha Collins
My kids and I sometimes will just sit in my office and talk about what the world was like 68 million years ago. Amanda, our oldest daughter, wanted to be a paleontologist for a long time. ~ Phil Mickelson
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Mickelson
Lean down a minute first," he says. "Need to tell you something." I lean over and put my good ear to his lips, which tickle as he whispers. "Remember, we're madly in love, so it's all right to kiss me anytime you feel like it." I jerk my head back but end up laughing. "Thanks, I'll keep it in mind. ~ Suzanne Collins
Phil Collins quotes by Suzanne Collins
He was tired
of being called
a fag and teased
for his sexuality
by one of the guards,
so he tried to hang
himself, twice

The kid got a little
closer the second
time, but I won't be
around to see a
third ~ Phil Volatile
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Volatile
Quality is such an attractive banner that sometimes we think we can get away with just waving it, without doing the hard work necessary to achieve it. ~ Phil Crosby
Phil Collins quotes by Phil Crosby
He felt around desperately for a weapon. What did he have? Diapers? Cookies? Oh, why hadn't they given him a sword? He was the stupid warrior, wasn't he? His fingers dug in the leather bag and closed around the root beer can. Root beer! He yanked out the can shaking it with all his might. "Attack! Attack!" he yelled. ~ Suzanne Collins
Phil Collins quotes by Suzanne Collins
The way that I work is very specific, very thorough, and the process has to be totally clear. ~ Lynn Collins
Phil Collins quotes by Lynn Collins
When I was at school, I was terrible at algebra and arithmetic, but I was always the best at English and literature. And acting, of course. ~ Joan Collins
Phil Collins quotes by Joan Collins
Even at Westchester High in West LA, I was class clown. ~ Phil Hartman
