Everything That You Do In Your Life

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."

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.

You Can't Really Get The Full Joy Out Of Life Unless You Really Go For It. You Just Have To Go Into It And Stay Under Some Kind Of Hope Or Illusion That It's Going To Work. But As You Get Older, Or The More Experiences You Have, Or Whatever It Is That Tells You How This Stuff Works, You Also Know That If You Go All The Way Into It, There's The Risk Of Losing Everything But You Don't Have A Choice.

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.

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.
