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.

More quotes by Wayne Coyne
I got very lucky that some of the things that I wanted to work did work. Not because I knew what I was doing, just through dumb luck, it just looked beautiful and sounded great and captured some magical mood. And you just have to hope that you get lucky when you do big things like making a movie, or something.

I stopped caring so much about what people might think if I sung about love and humanity.

When I do yoga, it gets all sweaty, and the best thing for dried up hair isn't shampoo, it's sweat.
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'm pouring my guts out so they can feel like your guts at the same time.

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.

We love playing music but were too weird to play music.
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?

Love is larger than life.
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 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
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.

Instagram is a great example of you just doing your thing.
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.

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
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.

If SANTA CLAUS came down the chimney in a f**king jogging suit, you wouldn't even know it was him.
Wayne Coyne
The 'cool' record store. It is where you can talk to people who are like you. They look like you, think like you and, most tellingly like the same music as you - the only comparable experience these days would probably be an art museum - an actual place where you can stand and simply be surrounded by your heroes.
Wayne Coyne
I think when people think of music from coming from Oklahoma, they think of Toby Keith or even Garth Brooks or even Woody Guthrie. People think, Why do we have to just be about the Bible and about football? Why can't we be about something like the Flaming Lips? And I salute them! I say, Well, that's great if you want that.
Wayne Coyne
We wouldn't be artists, writers, painters, musicians, if we weren't sensitive.
