I need people to call me, I never remember to call anyone - otherwise I'll just sit in my house and listen to music all day.

More quotes by John Frusciante
I don’t pay attention to the world. I just have the art I like and the music I like and for me that’s the whole world
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
To me music is the centre of the universe and the voice of the spirits and the voice of God and the voice of all the people who have lived and died...At least the ones I'm connected to.
John Frusciante
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?
John Frusciante
I just like to switch things up all the time. Like when it comes to singing, I try to find a different character for each song.
John Frusciante
Anybody who's a guitar player that's spent that time with another guitar player, there's nothing better than that.
John Frusciante
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 never feel like I'm running out of ideas, because it is clear to me - music is infinite
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
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
Expression is when you are at one with nothingness.
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
I would say a lot of the emotion in what I do is a sort of a thankfulness for those energies being around, because there's been points in my life when they weren't around, and it's a real sort of miserable existence.
John Frusciante
Because I'm pure inside, the music that comes out of me is a life-giving thing. Like water.
John Frusciante
I consider my music to be Progressive Synth Pop, which says nothing about what it sounds like, but does describe my basic approach.
John Frusciante
I try to put the same spirit into that that I put into any other music endeavor I'm involved in.
John Frusciante
So I use a tape recorder a lot to record ideas.
John Frusciante
My music, my whole approach to the synthesizer has completely changed now.
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
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
