Even Though I Don't Have Any Kids

We Wish That We Could Take Magic Drugs, Play Around All Day, Read, And Do Nothing Strenuous, And Be The Smartest, Happiest People In The World. The Truth Is, It's All About Sweat.

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."

The 'cool' Record Store. It Is Where You Can Talk To People Who Are Like You. They Look Like You, Think Like You And, Most Tellingly Like The Same Music As You - The Only Comparable Experience These Days Would Probably Be An Art Museum - An Actual Place Where You Can Stand And Simply Be Surrounded By Your Heroes.

I Wish I Did Believe In God. It Would Be A Great Relief To Think, 'god'll Take Care Of It. God'll Put Gas In The Car Tomorrow'.

We Hear So Many Records These Days That Are Done With Click Tracks, As Opposed To A Drummer.
