Love Is The Thing That You Pursue

The Things That Affect You Most Deeply - The Things That Will Destroy You If You Don't Sing About Them - Are The Things That You Often End Up Singing About. It's Really Just About Saying Those Things That Everybody Thinks But No One Will Say And Making A Connection By Uncovering These Diamonds That Are Inside Of All Of Us That No One Wants To Tell Each Other About.

I Always Knew, Since I'm The One Making The Movie, If I Didn't Like It, I'd Just Simply Build Another Set And Do It Again. I Was The One Doing It All, So I Never Really Worried About If I Didn't Like It. I Just Thought, "well, If I Didn't Like It, I'll Just Do It Again! Who Cares?"

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 Would Say Anybody Who's Willing To Listen To Dark Side Of The Moon And Watch The Wizard Of Oz Is Already A Very Sensitive, Creative Person.

Love Is Larger Than Life.
