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

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.

What I do on my solo stuff is just the most natural version of who I am, and I’m trying to represent the feelings that I’m feeling as purely as possible
John Frusciante
Image
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.

Music is my friend, no matter where I go.
John Frusciante
Image
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
Image
The imagination is the most real world that we know because we each know it first hand.
John Frusciante
Image
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

That's what I spend most of my time doing, breathing a lot. I like air.

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

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

To me music is the centre of the universe and the voice of the spirits and the voice of God and the voice of all the people who have lived and died...At least the ones I'm connected to.
