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 don't want to be on the radio. I don't want to be on Mtv.

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

Something like trying to protect yourself all the time, things like trying to outwit fate. Those things can be the worst thing you can do for yourself.

I combine aspects of many styles of music and create my own musical forms by way of electronic instruments.

I am very happy to be alive. There is much fun to be had. Music, movies, books, paintings, drawingsI hope you have these things where you are. If you have them, what does the real world matter anyway?

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
