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.

More quotes by 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
Sometimes the song title comes with the songs, other times you just sorta make something up afterwards.
Wayne Coyne
I think that's what centers me the most - all my people, all my animals.
Wayne Coyne
I think that most of the people I'm dealing with, they're a lot like me. So I'm not pushing people that don't want to do something most of the people have a billion things going on, and they love it.
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
We wish that we could take magic drugs, play around all day, read, and do nothing strenuous, and be the smartest, happiest people in the world. The truth is, it's all about sweat.
Wayne Coyne
I think some of the musicians are more like punk rock musicians. It's like an art as opposed to being a musician. It's definitely more radical psychedelic bands, more than anything.
Wayne Coyne
We are all really alone. We're isolated in our own mind.
Wayne Coyne
Instagram is a great example of you just doing your thing.
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
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
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
There is a lot of melody and things that sound familiar in hundreds of songs.
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
We hear so many records these days that are done with click tracks, as opposed to a drummer.
Wayne Coyne
I think it's probably a good thing to be considered stable, but with a capacity for madness.
Wayne Coyne
I want to be able to shoot laser beams out of my hands at people. That's the kind of stuff that you think all bands should do, but they don't, and I can't understand why most bands don't want to do it.
Wayne Coyne
I wish I did believe in God. It would be a great relief to think, 'God'll take care of it. God'll put gas in the car tomorrow'.
Wayne Coyne
Everything that you do in your life that helps you sweat is good for you.
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.
