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

What really helps me is being able to record my albums at home - I have more fun experimenting that way, as opposed to working with an engineer, in which case I have to deal with the humiliation of doing take after take, and that can get frustrating.

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

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

You just never know when somebodys gonna die. It could happen at any moment so youve got to really treat everybody that way. Just really let everybody know how you feel about them.

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

But I have been avoiding talking about what I'm doing now because it's frustrating for people to hear about things that aren't available yet.
