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

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

Everything's very perfectly balanced; for all the horrible things in the world there's lots of good things.

I'm also very impressed with the best people in experimental electronic world, like Peta and Eckart Aillers and Finez and Jim O'Rourke and Oren Umbarci and Francesco Lopez. Most of them use the computer as their main instrument.

I think you get people taking things to excess in all fields, doctors, lawyers - -it happens to all kinds of people.

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

It’s, it’s like I’m in the fourth dimension and somebody is asking me to describe it verbally and that’s what the fourth dimension is all about, is no words, no symbols, no images, all pure, real energy and vibrations. And, and if I thought about how cruel of a world this is, I would probably just commit suicide after a while, if that was what I spent my energy thinking about. I would definitely not have any strength left to create music.
