I think that most of the people I'm dealing with, they're a lot like me. So I'm not pushing people that don't want to do something most of the people have a billion things going on, and they love it.

More quotes by Wayne Coyne
We don't ever want to shut down and say, I'm afraid to go that far down the road because there's going to be pain. There'll be beauty, too, and if you stop here, you stop all that.
Wayne Coyne
Occasionally there are people who are not like me, and I forget that they're more introverted or shy, or just don't want to make a decision so quickly.
Wayne Coyne
I know that is absolutely true for people when they are young - you don't want to be alive if the things that you love in your life aren't there.
Wayne Coyne
I stopped caring so much about what people might think if I sung about love and humanity.
Wayne Coyne
If SANTA CLAUS came down the chimney in a f**king jogging suit, you wouldn't even know it was him.
Wayne Coyne
There's a cave, we go inside of ourselves because we want to know more, and we turn this one corner and we go, Oh my god - I didn't know that was in here. We can never go back to the way we were. It's like a horrible car accident - you're never the same after that. It's something that you'll think about every day for the rest of your life.
Wayne Coyne
To try to please people is an endless chasing of one's own tail. That's not very satisfying, so we do what we like and that satisfies us. When it does work out, its a bonus, really.
Wayne Coyne
I want people to be ecstatic but to cry at the same time.
Wayne Coyne
You want to be influenced by the world because it has so many cool things about it, but it also has a bunch of bad things about it.
Wayne Coyne
We hear so many records these days that are done with click tracks, as opposed to a drummer.
Wayne Coyne
Some people, they don't want to be that loved, they don't want to be that involved, they don't want to be part of your family. That's where the pain comes in. You want the world to be what you want it to be, and sometimes the world doesn't want that.
Wayne Coyne
There is a lot of melody and things that sound familiar in hundreds of songs.
Wayne Coyne
I do think there is a segment of people in Oklahoma that really do love the Flaming Lips and love this other idea of what someone from Oklahoma could be like. I've sort of become the spokesperson for this other person who could come from Oklahoma.
Wayne Coyne
Most artists I run into aren't that thrilled with what they do anyway. They are glad to have different versions out there to see which one the audience likes the best.
Wayne Coyne
Sometimes you just have to say, “...I don't know what we are doing, let's just go and see what happens.” You have to embrace the experience itself, so that things you didn't intend to happen can make your work more authentic. And you have to hope that it works.

If you have a song that you think sounds like another song you should contact the publishing company and say I have a song here, let's cut a deal that lets everyone walk away feeling good.
Wayne Coyne
I can see that if this was an album done 10 or 15 years ago we could see we were moving on to some place else.
Wayne Coyne
Your life, unfortunately - and I mean this - your life is built on when love dies. There's a lot of love in your life that will simply die. And you wish that you died with it, you know? But you don't. And you go, oh, well, here I am.
Wayne Coyne
I am not that thrilled about the way our records sound anyway. Don't get me wrong, I work hard on them and I want them to sound fantastic but I'm happy to have another interpretation of them anyway.
Wayne Coyne
I always knew, since I'm the one making the movie, if I didn't like it, I'd just simply build another set and do it again. I was the one doing it all, so I never really worried about if I didn't like it. I just thought, Well, if I didn't like it, I'll just do it again! Who cares?
