More quotes by John Frusciante
I'm going through a phase where I'm really accomplishing a lot of things and in that is everything I've learned.
John Frusciante
I would say a lot of the emotion in what I do is a sort of a thankfulness for those energies being around, because there's been points in my life when they weren't around, and it's a real sort of miserable existence.
John Frusciante
Everything's very perfectly balanced for all the horrible things in the world there's lots of good things.
John Frusciante
What's gone will never come back, but it exists when you think of it.
John Frusciante
People fall into patterns at fast speeds, when really, to have a clear musical thought - the kind of musical thought that makes a melody work - our brains just can't think that fast. At a certain point, you're going on automatic.
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 consider my music to be Progressive Synth Pop, which says nothing about what it sounds like, but does describe my basic approach.
John Frusciante
Rock guitarists usually do not wish to think trains of thought about anything but their own guitar playing during a long solo, and I could not play this way if I were not able to divide my attention between my ever changing musical environment and my instrument itself.
John Frusciante
I'm not interested in meeting people's expectations, and I'm not interested in pleasing people.
John Frusciante
Expression is when you are at one with nothingness.
John Frusciante
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.
John Frusciante
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.
John Frusciante
The imagination is the most real world that we know because we each know it first hand.
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 write lyrics. I play the guitar. If the rest of the band had to do my schedule, they would be dead
John Frusciante
I don’t pay attention to the world. I just have the art I like and the music I like and for me that’s the whole world
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
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
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
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
