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

Music is my friend, no matter where I go.

Any guitar solo should reflect the music that it's soloing over and not just be existing in its own sort of little world.

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.

But I think I know just as many creative people who've never taken drugs in their life as I do who have taken a lot of drugs.

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

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