More quotes by 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 embrace the idea that I'm an entertainer.
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
Sometimes the song title comes with the songs, other times you just sorta make something up afterwards.
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 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
I want people to be ecstatic but to cry at the same time.
Wayne Coyne
I'm pouring my guts out so they can feel like your guts at the same time.

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
You want the world to be what you want it to be, and sometimes the world doesn't want that.
Wayne Coyne
Eating good things and being around people who are happy - 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. Being around people who are happy and people who are creative, that's what you do if you're lucky in your life.
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 think if you're lucky, you start to make music and it gets things out.
Wayne Coyne
Without art, without communicating, we wouldn't live beyond 30 because we'd be so sad and depressed.
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 SANTA CLAUS came down the chimney in a f**king jogging suit, you wouldn't even know it was him.
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
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
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 hear so many records these days that are done with click tracks, as opposed to a drummer.
