More quotes by 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 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
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
People fall into patterns at fast speeds, when really, to have a clear musical thought - the kind of musical thought that makes a melody work - our brains just can't think that fast. At a certain point, you're going on automatic.
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
You don't throw your life away Going Inside You get to know who's watching you And besides you resides in your body

Artistic expression, sex, and truth are the only things that really matter.
John Frusciante
I never feel like I'm running out of ideas, because it is clear to me - music is infinite

Anybody who's a guitar player that's spent that time with another guitar player, there's nothing better than that.
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
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
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 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
What really helps me is being able to record my albums at home - I have more fun experimenting that way, as opposed to working with an engineer, in which case I have to deal with the humiliation of doing take after take, and that can get frustrating.
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
I think the feelings in my music were suggested to me before I even had the ability to play music.
John Frusciante
The imagination is the most real world that we know because we each know it first hand.
John Frusciante
I'm not interested in forcing my music on people, and that's what the whole music industry nowadays is based on is forcing stations to play it, forcing people to listen to it.
John Frusciante
Right now my taste is going more for things that are organic where the people are using all the sonic possibilities in interesting ways.
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.
