And for me the only way to live life is to grab the bull by the horns and call up recording studios and set dates to go in recording studios. To try and accomplish something.

For me, living and making music, they're one thing. It's not like a job that I go to a studio to do, or a chore that I have to get myself in the mood to do, or something. It's the thing that I need to do every day.
John Frusciante

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

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.

When the intellectual part of guitar playing overrides the spiritual, you don't get to extreme heights.
John Frusciante
Image
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
Image
Lose yourself in the far off worlds that are right under your feet. Switch below with above all the way up into infinity. We should be thankful who we are, whether we know ourselves or not.
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.
John Frusciante

So I use a tape recorder a lot to record ideas.

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

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.

I combine aspects of many styles of music and create my own musical forms by way of electronic instruments.

But I think I know just as many creative people who've never taken drugs in their life as I do who have taken a lot of drugs.
