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.

I'm dreading the time that is not near As a man on a cross I have no fear I can't believe these words I'm saying You've got to feel your lines
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.

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
Image
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.

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?

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

To me music is the centre of the universe and the voice of the spirits and the voice of God and the voice of all the people who have lived and died...At least the ones I'm connected to.

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.

Dream that you died It takes you out of your mind The black walls of space Take me all the way

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.

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
Image
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.

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

I'm going through a phase where I'm really accomplishing a lot of things and in that is everything I've learned.

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.

Pagers are my life--I try to get them in to our music as much as possible.

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.

I think you get people taking things to excess in all fields, doctors, lawyers - -it happens to all kinds of people.

Anybody who's a guitar player that's spent that time with another guitar player, there's nothing better than that.

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.
