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

We’re really lucky to live in a planet that has so much music. We could be living in some bland planet that had no music, no movies, no books, just a bunch of people going around having jobs and things like that. To me that would be a really miserable place, you know, to me music is what makes this world a really fun place to be, you know?

John Frusciante
Everything's very perfectly balanced for all the horrible things in the world there's lots of good things.
John Frusciante
My music, my whole approach to the synthesizer has completely changed now.
John Frusciante
Dream that you died It takes you out of your mind The black walls of space Take me all the way
John Frusciante
I think you get people taking things to excess in all fields, doctors, lawyers - -it happens to all kinds of people.
John Frusciante
A slave in the fields one night He's running along Gets far enough to be a free man And he's feeling so strong
John Frusciante
You should always think good things and always look for the good in the world. If you look for the bad in the world, you will always find something bad. But if you look for the good you will find it, it is there
John Frusciante
You just never know when somebodys gonna die. It could happen at any moment so youve got to really treat everybody that way. Just really let everybody know how you feel about them.
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.
John Frusciante
For me, theory has always opened things up to where I can walk into a room and just by hearing something I know exactly where to go on the guitar. I have a better time playing because I have a variety of colors to bring to the table.
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
