If anything unfolds, it's supposed to

The Will to Death is what keeps me alive

Music is my friend, no matter where I go.

So I use a tape recorder a lot to record ideas.

The point is, I'm weird, but I never felt weird.

Expression is when you are at one with nothingness.

I don't want to be on the radio. I don't want to be on Mtv.

I wanted all my solos to be something you could sing along with

I think an analogue synth is an extension of the natural world.

I just feel like the songs that come out are the songs that come.

What's gone will never come back, but it exists when you think of it.

That's what I spend most of my time doing, breathing a lot. I like air.

We are all very lucky to live in a world where there is this much music.

It's my dream to make music that can make people feel like they're flying

I still love with all my heart anything that I have ever loved in my life.

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

My music, my whole approach to the synthesizer has completely changed now.

Artistic expression, sex, and truth are the only things that really matter.

Making art is about accepting what’s going on around you and turning it into

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

The curtains were made for moving Cause you know sometimes you're not always there

Well, I don't need protection One life begins, another dies Bad timing I won't last

The imagination is the most real world that we know because we each know it first hand.

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

Yeah, I really like being alive. But I definitely don't have any intentions as an artist.

Because I'm pure inside, the music that comes out of me is a life-giving thing. Like water.

Rock music is electronic music, dependent entirely on electronic circuitry and amplification.

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

I'm not interested in meeting people's expectations, and I'm not interested in pleasing people.

I try to put the same spirit into that that I put into any other music endeavor I'm involved in.

I think the feelings in my music were suggested to me before I even had the ability to play music.

In the Chili Peppers I'm a part of that world in a pretty big world and that's just the way it is.

I write lyrics. I play the guitar. If the rest of the band had to do my schedule, they would be dead

You are free. Close your eyes. Open your mind. Let this music in, and you will see that this is true

Make sure you stay in touch with beauty instead of letting the ugliness of the world corrupt your soul

When the intellectual part of guitar playing overrides the spiritual, you don't get to extreme heights.

Everything's very perfectly balanced; for all the horrible things in the world there's lots of good things.

I combine aspects of many styles of music and create my own musical forms by way of electronic instruments.

The main thing experience has taught me is that one has to sort of hone their relationship to time, you know.

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

Sometimes it takes just living your life a certain way to be able to open yourself to the rhythm of the cosmos.

It's about the music, it's not about just showing people what you can do with a piece of wood with strings on it

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

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

You don't throw your life away Going Inside You get to know who's watching you And besides you resides in your body

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

As long as you're excited about what you're playing, and as long as it comes from your heart, it's going to be great.

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

And if a few other people come along who discover my music because they in some natural way come across my music, cool.

Any guitar solo should reflect the music that it's soloing over and not just be existing in its own sort of little world.
