More quotes by John Frusciante
You should always think good things and always look for the good in the world. If you look for the bad in the world, you will always find something bad. But if you look for the good you will find it, it is there
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
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
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
For me, theory has always opened things up to where I can walk into a room and just by hearing something I know exactly where to go on the guitar. I have a better time playing because I have a variety of colors to bring to the table.
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
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
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 think any music of any worth has been done by people who were very interested in the internal process of their soul and their mind that's taking place while they're writing music.
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
I write lyrics. I play the guitar. If the rest of the band had to do my schedule, they would be dead
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
When the intellectual part of guitar playing overrides the spiritual, you don't get to extreme heights.
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
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 never feel like I'm running out of ideas, because it is clear to me - music is infinite
John Frusciante
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
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
I think the feelings in my music were suggested to me before I even had the ability to play music.
John Frusciante
I try to put the same spirit into that that I put into any other music endeavor I'm involved in.
