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

People fall into patterns at fast speeds, when really, to have a clear musical thought - the kind of musical thought that makes a melody work - our brains just can't think that fast. At a certain point, you're going on automatic.

I just feel like the songs that come out are the songs that come.

What's gone will never come back, but it exists when you think of it.

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.

What I do on my solo stuff is just the most natural version of who I am, and I’m trying to represent the feelings that I’m feeling as purely as possible

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