Now I can look back and say I actually like the upbringing I had and my father was very attentive and a great educator.

I don't worry about new young bands. The bounty of life is infinite and so is music and so are opportunities.

The road is not a problem. It's not any more tempting. People don't come up with giant bags of drugs or gallons of alcohol and say, 'You've got to do this.' It happens to me more at home.

It was like the Wizard of Oz had spoken, and what he said was too ludicrous to take seriously.

I never felt like dying was a good idea.

I would consider him definitely one of my very best friends and I know he feels the same about me. We have a lot of love and respect.

I know I'm in the band and everything but sometimes I just have to rock out to the John Frusciante Experience.
