We’re really lucky to live in a planet that has so much music. We could be living in some bland planet that had no music, no movies, no books, just a bunch of people going around having jobs and things like that. To me that would be a really miserable place, you know, to me music is what makes this world a really fun place to be, 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.

Expression is when you are at one with nothingness.

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

I just feel like the songs that come out are the songs that come.

Music is my friend, no matter where I go.

Music is my life. The things that people do don't seem interesting to me at all - going out to bars, carrying on, going to parties. What the hell do people do? Shop? Play golf? Have vacations? That doesn't seem interesting to me. To me, my job as a musician is to be a good receptor. A lot of music comes through me.
