Music itself was color-blind but the media and the radio stations segregate it based on their perceptions of the artists.
Anthony Kiedis
I think I'm still figuring out how to be a little less selfish.
Anthony Kiedis
To be 26 years old and lose your left heart ventricle was probably the most dramatic thing that's ever happened to me in my life...
Anthony Kiedis
If you want to get along with somebody, let them be right, and it will last longer.
Anthony Kiedis
When you realize that there's a name and a description for this condition that you thought was insanity, you've identified the problem, and now you can do something about it.
Anthony Kiedis
I don't even know what words to use to talk about the music industry anymore. But the business has changed a lot - the methods of releasing music.
Anthony Kiedis
When I looked into her eyes, I saw an invisible spirit of something that I already loved.
Anthony Kiedis
You instinctively know that nothing will ever be the same, and you have to carry that knowledge around with you like a huge weight. The next time you see your girl, you can’t look her straight in the eyes the same way you did for all those years.
