More quotes by Wayne Coyne
Music has the power to transcend your physical being and take you up. Because music has a metaphysical quality it really makes your life beautiful.
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
Instagram is a great example of you just doing your thing.
Wayne Coyne
All the great things that I get to be curious about, see, and experience because I'm sensitive to the world, it also opens up these areas where there's a lot of pain and suffering. You're just aware, aware, aware.
Wayne Coyne
I remember when my father was dying, I remember listening to Bjork, and listening to John Coltrane, and these things, and I don't know why but music has the power to transcend your physical being and take you up just a little bit.
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
We wouldn't be artists, writers, painters, musicians, if we weren't sensitive.

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
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 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 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
Everything that you do in your life that helps you sweat is good for you. Whenever you're sweating, you're adding to your potential to enjoy the day or enjoy the moment or enjoy your life.
Wayne Coyne
Even though I don't have any kids of my own, I love this idea of family and taking care of things.
Wayne Coyne
Love is the thing that you pursue because it's the thing that gives you all this life, or you believe that, anyway.
Wayne Coyne
We love it when we make mistakes that are better than something you could think up.
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
Life is worth celebrating and worth living even though we're all headed to the same hole at the end of the day.
Wayne Coyne
Music is amazing. There's some metaphysical comfort where it allows you to be isolated and alone while telling you that you are not alone... truly, the only cure for sadness is to share it with someone else.
