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 gotta constantly purify yourself, living in the city, around human beings. There might be people close to you who affect you inside yourself in such a corrupt way that it screws with your ability to do what you do. But if you make sure that the people who are close you are good people who are there for you and love you, you can create your temple everywhere you go.

You are free. Close your eyes. Open your mind. Let this music in, and you will see that this is true

For me it's important to be in balance. To not let fear get in the way of things, to not worry so much about protecting yourself all the time.

It's my dream to make music that can make people feel like they're flying

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

And for me the only way to live life is to grab the bull by the horns and call up recording studios and set dates to go in recording studios. To try and accomplish something.
