For me it's important to be in balance. To not let fear get in the way of things, to not worry so much about protecting yourself all the time.

More quotes by John Frusciante
Music is my life. The things that people do don't seem interesting to me at all - going out to bars, carrying on, going to parties. What the hell do people do? Shop? Play golf? Have vacations? That doesn't seem interesting to me. To me, my job as a musician is to be a good receptor. A lot of music comes through me.
John Frusciante
A slave in the fields one night He's running along Gets far enough to be a free man And he's feeling so strong
John Frusciante
I wanted all my solos to be something you could sing along with
John Frusciante
You know this moment in time Is all my life Every day is each day that's passed Every person alive is everyone's who's died
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.
John Frusciante
Mainly, I don't like it when music is made solely to impress people or in order to please business people it doesn't sound good to me. If you're making music in order to become famous or loved by the masses that's not what I'm about. When somebody's making music for the wrong reasons, I hear it right away.
John Frusciante
Because I'm pure inside, the music that comes out of me is a life-giving thing. Like water.
John Frusciante
Expression is when you are at one with nothingness.
John Frusciante
Music has always carried me through times of loneliness. So when I make music, I like it to make people who listen to it feel like they have a friend who reveals something personal to them, rather than trying to be like a god up on a pedestal
John Frusciante
Lose yourself in the far off worlds that are right under your feet. Switch below with above all the way up into infinity. We should be thankful who we are, whether we know ourselves or not.
John Frusciante
I still love with all my heart anything that I have ever loved in my life.
John Frusciante
I think the feelings in my music were suggested to me before I even had the ability to play music.
John Frusciante
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.
John Frusciante
I think an analogue synth is an extension of the natural world.
John Frusciante
For me, living and making music, they're one thing. It's not like a job that I go to a studio to do, or a chore that I have to get myself in the mood to do, or something. It's the thing that I need to do every day.
John Frusciante
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
John Frusciante
The main thing experience has taught me is that one has to sort of hone their relationship to time, you know.
John Frusciante
I think you get people taking things to excess in all fields, doctors, lawyers - -it happens to all kinds of people.
John Frusciante
And this whole period of time of gradually working at being a better guitar player and songwriter have gradually led me to the point where I feel I'm doing a clearer representation of the thing that I've been feeling inside me since I was four years old.
John Frusciante
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.
