I've never been asked to do a collaboration. I guess I just don't give off that come-and-get-me vibe. I wouldn't be adverse to doing one with Coldplay or U2 - anyone who sells 50 million albums.

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.

Phil Collins sold five times as many records as I did. Does that make him nearly as influential as I am? Nope.

My first instinct when I write songs is not a negative one. It's something positive... Everything I've ever done has some form of hope in it, I think.

Rock stardom will die because nobody will make enough money any more to be rock stars.

If I were in the Beatles, I'd be a good George Harrison.

I'm used to people being a mile away. That suits me. It's more nerve-wracking playing in front of people who are two feet away from me.
