John Frusciante
I wanted all my solos to be something you could sing along with

John Frusciante
Well, I don't even know how to drive in this life, so I'm pretty far from ever having the life of being a stuntdouble. I liked- I had an Evil Knievel doll when i was a kid, that's about it!
John Frusciante
You don't throw your life away Going Inside You get to know who's watching you And besides you resides in your body
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.
John Frusciante
Artistic expression, sex, and truth are the only things that really matter.
John Frusciante
I think the feelings in my music were suggested to me before I even had the ability to play music.
John Frusciante
Music is my friend, no matter where I go.
John Frusciante
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.
John Frusciante
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.
John Frusciante
