More quotes by Wayne Coyne
We love it when we make mistakes that are better than something you could think up.
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
I think the more music becomes something you could simply download and have on your iPod, I think to a lot of people that is plenty, but to some people, they still want these artifacts that are touchable, and you can smell them, and look at them, and hold them and just have other dimensions of experience with this music.
Wayne Coyne
I knew she was from Australia and I knew that is where she started but I didn't know if she was still popular there. I hope people understand we aren't making fun of Kylie.
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
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
I think if you're lucky, you start to make music and it gets things out.
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?
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
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
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
Maybe there's some unquenchable question that I keep asking the universe that I can't get an answer to.
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
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
When I do yoga, it gets all sweaty, and the best thing for dried up hair isn't shampoo, it's sweat.
Wayne Coyne
Sometimes the song title comes with the songs, other times you just sorta make something up afterwards.
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
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.
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.
