More quotes by 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
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
I wanted all my solos to be something you could sing along with
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
Well, I don't even know how to drive in this life, so I'm pretty far from ever having the life of being a stuntdouble. I liked- I had an Evil Knievel doll when i was a kid, that's about it!
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

Expression is when you are at one with nothingness.
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
So when I feel the spirit upon me it's something I don't take it for granted, and I don't think I'm solely responsible for these things.
John Frusciante
I think any music of any worth has been done by people who were very interested in the internal process of their soul and their mind that's taking place while they're writing music.
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
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
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
Anybody who's a guitar player that's spent that time with another guitar player, there's nothing better than that.
John Frusciante
I write songs because I have to write them, and if I didn't I'd be doing some other kind of music that didn't require a song.
John Frusciante
I combine aspects of many styles of music and create my own musical forms by way of electronic instruments.
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
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 think an analogue synth is an extension of the natural world.
John Frusciante
I write lyrics. I play the guitar. If the rest of the band had to do my schedule, they would be dead
