More - Phil Collins Quotes

I'm nice until I have a reason not to be. I work hard and people sense that. But I'm different things to different people. To the middle-aged housewife I'm some-one who looks like a "little boy lost"; to the people who know only One More Night and Against All Odds, I'm probably this sweet and sensitive guy. But there are many other songs, many other sides. I don't like that sickly sweet image.

 People

[The obvious questions concerning animosity between members have of course arisen. After all, both Gabriel and Collins left Genesis and found much green pastures in terms of commercial success, while the rest of Genesis fell between the cracks. But Collins is quick to squash any talk of negativity amongst them.] We're all still good friends. We spent like 30 or 25 years of our life in the same office, ... Just because we don't play in the same band anymore doesn't mean we don't see each other and enjoy each other's company.
