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.

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

Right now my taste is going more for things that are organic where the people are using all the sonic possibilities in interesting ways.

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

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

Expression is when you are at one with nothingness.

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