I think that's what centers me the most - all my people, all my animals.

I stopped caring so much about what people might think if I sung about love and humanity.

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'.

I do think there is a segment of people in Oklahoma that really do love the Flaming Lips and love this other idea of what someone from Oklahoma could be like. I've sort of become the spokesperson for this "other person" who could come from Oklahoma.

Maybe there's some unquenchable question that I keep asking the universe that I can't get an answer to.

Even though I don't have any kids of my own, I love this idea of family and taking care of things.

Everything that you do in your life that helps you sweat is good for you.
