More quotes by Wayne Coyne
When I do yoga, it gets all sweaty, and the best thing for dried up hair isn't shampoo, it's sweat.
Wayne Coyne
I wish I did believe in God. It would be a great relief to think, 'God'll take care of it. God'll put gas in the car tomorrow'.
Wayne Coyne
It is comforting to know that there is at least one place where we can go and be confident that we will find an audience thirsting to find new music. Paste Magazine is that place. It's loss would create a very large black hole.
Wayne Coyne
I'm pouring my guts out so they can feel like your guts at the same time.
Wayne Coyne
I think some of the musicians are more like punk rock musicians. It's like an art as opposed to being a musician. It's definitely more radical psychedelic bands, more than anything.
Wayne Coyne
Try to be happy within the context of the life we are actually living. Happiness is not a situation to be longed for or a convergence of lucky happenstance. Through the power of our own minds, we can help ourselves.
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
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.
Wayne Coyne
I stopped caring so much about what people might think if I sung about love and humanity.
Wayne Coyne
I want to know what you're thinking, you want to know what I'm thinking. But we're alone. In our own minds. We're trapped in this sort of isolation.
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
Keeping perspective and being happy and being energetic and being creative - that's all tied to being healthy.
Wayne Coyne
I embrace the idea that I'm an entertainer.
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
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 think I'm really lucky that the things I'm able to love - people, animals - it's like the more you put yourself into it, the more you get out of it.
Wayne Coyne
I want to be able to shoot laser beams out of my hands at people. That's the kind of stuff that you think all bands should do, but they don't, and I can't understand why most bands don't want to do it.
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
We want, or wanted, to believe that without love we would disappear, that love, somehow, would save us that, yeah, if we have love, give love and know love, we are truly alive and if there is no love, there would be no life. The Terror is, we know now, that even without love, life goes on... we just go on there is no mercy killing.
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.
