More quotes by John Frusciante

John Frusciante
I still love with all my heart anything that I have ever loved in my life.
John Frusciante
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.

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?

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.
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
What's gone will never come back, but it exists when you think of it.
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
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
Dream that you died It takes you out of your mind The black walls of space Take me all the way
John Frusciante
I write songs because I have to write them, and if I didn't I'd be doing some other kind of music that didn't require a song.
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
Everything's very perfectly balanced for all the horrible things in the world there's lots of good things.
