I Think If You're Lucky, You Start

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.

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

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."

I Think It's Probably A Good Thing To Be Considered Stable, But With A Capacity For Madness.
