I still love with all my heart anything that I have ever loved in my life.

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

As long as you're excited about what you're playing, and as long as it comes from your heart, it's going to be great.

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

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

To me music is the centre of the universe and the voice of the spirits and the voice of God and the voice of all the people who have lived and died...At least the ones I'm connected to.

For me, living and making music, they're one thing. It's not like a job that I go to a studio to do, or a chore that I have to get myself in the mood to do, or something. It's the thing that I need to do every day.
