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
I've been in pain hope it doesn't show I've been insane well the time is slow

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
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
I never feel like I'm running out of ideas, because it is clear to me - music is infinite
John Frusciante
