Red Hot Chili Peppers – Biographies

John Frusciante – quotes

• You are free. Close your eyes. Open your mind. Let this music in, and you will see that this is true.
• That’s what I spend most of my time doing, breathing a lot. I like air.
• I really love being myself, I wouldn’t change places with anybody. I think anything that anybody wants to change about themselves, they should take a closer look, because it could just be a matter of looking at that flaw in a different way, rather than removing it.
• “Music is energy, and energy is the single most important form of it in the world. Without energy, there is no life. The only difference between a dead person and a live person is the energy, the electricity flowing inside their system, and that’s what makes music.
• It’s more important to be yourself than to hide things.
• When I smile at the audience, I’m not smiling because I was told that you’re supposed to smile to the audience. I smile because they’re all smiling at me, and it’s a great feeling to see all these happy people out there, and it makes me happy to see them happy…
• My songs I write them like I play them for one person and then when I see so many people going out to it, I feel so happy. You know how big you all are, everyone of you is like an hundred spirits to me.
• By the way, I’m not saying my music comes from the spirits and yours doesn’t; all the crap music everywhere in the world, it all comes from spirits. Crappy music comes from crappy spirits.
• I’m not really a star oriented kind of guy, I think all the people we have as stars now a days aren’t really worthy of the title star, because they’re on all these stupid sitcoms which are the equivalent to elevator music and I don’t see any value in sitcoms on any level because I think they should be banned.
• I think the main mistake that all mass murderers have made thought the history of time is that they didn’t just kill everybody, that seems to me like the best plan.
• I’m very connected to these 3 people (Anthony, Flea, Chad) because I feel like I was born to play music with them.
• Everyone of you is a star. It’s just hiding inside of some of you.
• What I have to say to an inhabitant of the Earth in one hundred years is similar to what I have to say to the present inhabitants of Earth. To be creative.
