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

The Will to Death is what keeps me alive

I need people to call me, I never remember to call anyone - otherwise I'll just sit in my house and listen to music all day.

For me my friendship with Omar Rodriguez from Mars Volta that friendship really means a lot to me because he's another creative person who works as hard as I do.

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.

I can also be very happy in this life, but it's usually happiness that I get from other lives I've lived and other dimensions. This life is hardly important to me. It's very small compared to the importance that I think the fourth and fifth dimension have. Those places are much more real to me, like when you have a dream and it's more real to you than real life. Compared to where I'll be going, this life seems like a dream that just feels like a dream.

And if a few other people come along who discover my music because they in some natural way come across my music, cool.
