Everything's very perfectly balanced for all the horrible things in the world there's lots of good things.

Image
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.

I think the feelings in my music were suggested to me before I even had the ability to play music.
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.

It's my dream to make music that can make people feel like they're flying
John Frusciante
Image
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

Expression is when you are at one with nothingness.

I'm going through a phase where I'm really accomplishing a lot of things and in that is everything I've learned.

The imagination is the most real world that we know because we each know it first hand.

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.

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.
