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.

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

Something like trying to protect yourself all the time, things like trying to outwit fate. Those things can be the worst thing you can do for yourself.

My religious point of view is something I can't talk about. It goes against my belief system to talk publicly about my own spiritual beliefs.

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

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