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

But I have been avoiding talking about what I'm doing now because it's frustrating for people to hear about things that aren't available yet.

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

Music has always carried me through times of loneliness. So when I make music, I like it to make people who listen to it feel like they have a friend who reveals something personal to them, rather than trying to be like a god up on a pedestal

The main thing experience has taught me is that one has to sort of hone their relationship to time, you know.

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

Enclosure, upon its completion, was the record which represented the achievement of all the musical goals I had been aiming at for the previous 5 years. It was recorded simultaneously with Black Knights' Medieval Chamber, and as different as the two albums appear to be, they represent one investigative creative thought process. What I learned from one fed directly into the other. Enclosure is presently my last word on the musical statement which began with PBX.
