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

It means basically I'm using the synthesizer more to change the sounds of other things rather than to use it as the source of the sound.

Music is energy, and energy is the single most important form of it in the world. Without energy, there is no life. The only difference between a dead person and a live person is the energy, the electricity flowing inside their system, and that's what makes 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.

We’re really lucky to live in a planet that has so much music. We could be living in some bland planet that had no music, no movies, no books, just a bunch of people going around having jobs and things like that. To me that would be a really miserable place, you know, to me music is what makes this world a really fun place to be, you know?

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

But I think I know just as many creative people who've never taken drugs in their life as I do who have taken a lot of drugs.
