Your Life Is Built On When Love

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.

We Are All Really Alone. We're Isolated In Our Own Mind.

Love Is The Thing That You Pursue Because It's The Thing That Gives You All This Life, Or You Believe That, Anyway.

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."

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.
