More quotes by John Frusciante
Artistic expression, sex, and truth are the only things that really matter.
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
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 consider my music to be Progressive Synth Pop, which says nothing about what it sounds like, but does describe my basic approach.
John Frusciante
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
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
You don't throw your life away Going Inside You get to know who's watching you And besides you resides in your body
John Frusciante
The imagination is the most real world that we know because we each know it first hand.
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
Because I'm pure inside, the music that comes out of me is a life-giving thing. Like water.
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 combine aspects of many styles of music and create my own musical forms by way of electronic instruments.
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
Pagers are my life--I try to get them in to our music as much as possible.
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
I just like to switch things up all the time. Like when it comes to singing, I try to find a different character for each song.
John Frusciante
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
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'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.
