Love Is Not A Magic

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.

We Wouldn't Be Artists, Writers, Painters, Musicians, If We Weren't Sensitive.

I Call It "being Interrupted By Success." We Had Done The Soft Bulletin, Which Came Out In 1999, And We Knew We That Were Gonna Make Another Record Before Too Long. But In Between This, We Were Still In This Mode Of Kind Of Just - Not Re-creating What We Could Be, But Kind Of Doing Different Things. For The Longest Time In The Flaming Lips We Were Like, "make A Record, Go On Tour. Come Back, Make Another Record," And You Know, I Think, Frankly, We Were Kind Of Like, "there's More To Life Than Just Recording Records And Going On Tour."

Keeping Perspective And Being Happy And Being Energetic And Being Creative - That's All Tied To Being Healthy.

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.
