And for me the only way to live life is to grab the bull by the horns and call up recording studios and set dates to go in recording studios. To try and accomplish something.

It means basically I'm using the synthesizer more to change the sounds of other things rather than to use it as the source of the sound.

What really helps me is being able to record my albums at home - I have more fun experimenting that way, as opposed to working with an engineer, in which case I have to deal with the humiliation of doing take after take, and that can get frustrating.

Because I'm pure inside, the music that comes out of me is a life-giving thing. Like water.

We’re really lucky to live in a planet that has so much music. We could be living in some bland planet that had no music, no movies, no books, just a bunch of people going around having jobs and things like that. To me that would be a really miserable place, you know, to me music is what makes this world a really fun place to be, you know?

Pot put me in a position where I could walk far away from my playing and hear it in the second person. It helped me step away from myself. I stopped seeing the guitar as a thing I'm holding in my hands and started seeing it as a thing that's at one with outer space and nothingness.

Expression is when you are at one with nothingness.

Anybody who's a guitar player that's spent that time with another guitar player, there's nothing better than that.

What I do on my solo stuff is just the most natural version of who I am, and I’m trying to represent the feelings that I’m feeling as purely as possible

But I think I know just as many creative people who've never taken drugs in their life as I do who have taken a lot of drugs.
John Frusciante

So when I feel the spirit upon me it's something I don't take it for granted, and I don't think I'm solely responsible for these things.

The main thing experience has taught me is that one has to sort of hone their relationship to time, you know.

I'm also very impressed with the best people in experimental electronic world, like Peta and Eckart Aillers and Finez and Jim O'Rourke and Oren Umbarci and Francesco Lopez. Most of them use the computer as their main instrument.

I'm dreading the time that is not near As a man on a cross I have no fear I can't believe these words I'm saying You've got to feel your lines

Right now my taste is going more for things that are organic where the people are using all the sonic possibilities in interesting ways.
John Frusciante

I'm not interested in meeting people's expectations, and I'm not interested in pleasing people.

Rock guitarists usually do not wish to think trains of thought about anything but their own guitar playing during a long solo, and I could not play this way if I were not able to divide my attention between my ever changing musical environment and my instrument itself.
John Frusciante

I combine aspects of many styles of music and create my own musical forms by way of electronic instruments.
