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

I think the feelings in my music were suggested to me before I even had the ability to play music.

What I have to say to an inhabitant of the Earth in one hundred years is similar to what I have to say to the present inhabitants of Earth. To be creative.

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 try to put the same spirit into that that I put into any other music endeavor I'm involved in.

We are all very lucky to live in a world where there is this much music.

So when I feel the spirit upon me it's something I don't take it for granted, and I don't think I'm solely responsible for these things.
