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."

Advertising Agencies Come To You And They Are Great Fans, They Are Great Creative People Themselves, But They Ask You To Do Something, And You Say, "well, We Will, We'll Create Something Together." And It Is Work. It's Like You're Doing Something And They're Saying, "change This" And "change That." It's Not Hard, Horrible Work, But Creatively It's Not Just Freedom.

Life Is Worth Celebrating And Worth Living Even Though We're All Headed To The Same Hole At The End Of The Day.
