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
I think making movie is kind of like getting fat people to walk 20 miles. If you just do it 100 yards at a time, and nobody knows how far they are going, they can do it!I would include myself in those fat people! You do this little by little and you don't realize your potential, or you don't realize how really rich, and how far you can go.

If SANTA CLAUS came down the chimney in a f**king jogging suit, you wouldn't even know it was him.

Keeping perspective and being happy and being energetic and being creative - that's all tied to being healthy.
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.
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
Without art, without communicating, we wouldn't live beyond 30 because we'd be so sad and depressed.
Wayne Coyne
I think if you're lucky, you start to make music and it gets things out.
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
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
As you get older, you accept that there are some tunnels that don't have any light in them, but you go down them anyway.
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.

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
I embrace the idea that I'm an entertainer.
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
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
A lot of times I'll doodle on something while I'm doing interviews, because sometimes I'm on the phone for three or four hours and I want to get something going. I'll just start from a scribble, or something that someone else already put on the page.
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 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
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.
